GDPR Compliance
Quick definition
EU privacy regulation governing personal data collection, consent, and processing. Applies to any brand selling to EU residents.
What it actually means
GDPR requires a lawful basis for processing personal data: consent, contract, or legitimate interest. It also requires data subject rights of access, deletion, and portability, data breach notification within 72 hours, and explicit consent for marketing communications. For eCommerce brands selling to EU residents: implement a cookie consent banner with granular opt-in, document data processing agreements with Klaviyo, Shopify, and ad platforms, and honor deletion requests within 30 days. Penalties can reach 4% of global annual revenue.
