Key GDPR Concepts

Legal Bases (Art. 6)

• Consent: Marketing, newsletters, analytics (must be freely given, specific, informed)
• Contract: Order fulfillment, service delivery
• Legal obligation: Tax records, employment law
• Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security (requires balancing test)

Special Category Data (Art. 9)

Requires explicit consent or Art. 9(2) exception:

• Health data
• Biometric data
• Racial/ethnic origin
• Political opinions
• Religious beliefs
• Trade union membership
• Genetic data
• Sexual orientation

Data Subject Rights

All rights must be fulfilled within 30 days (extendable to 90 for complex requests):

• Access: Provide copy of data and processing information
• Rectification: Correct inaccurate data
• Erasure: Delete data (with exceptions for legal obligations)
• Restriction: Limit processing while issues are resolved
• Portability: Provide data in machine-readable format
• Object: Stop processing based on legitimate interests

German BDSG Additions

Topic	BDSG Section	Key Requirement
DPO threshold	§ 38	20+ employees = mandatory DPO
Employment	§ 26	Detailed employee data rules
Video	§ 4	Signage and proportionality
Scoring	§ 31	Explainable algorithms

Cross-Reference: CCPA/CPRA US Privacy Comparison

When operating across EU and US jurisdictions, align GDPR compliance with California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by CPRA. Key differences to manage:

Dimension	GDPR	CCPA/CPRA
Scope	Any org processing EU resident data	For-profit businesses meeting revenue/data thresholds
Legal basis	6 lawful bases required (Art. 6)	No legal basis requirement; opt-out model
Consent	Opt-in by default	Opt-out (except minors and sensitive data)
Data subject rights	Access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection	Know, delete, correct, opt-out of sale/sharing, limit sensitive data use
Breach notification	72 hours to supervisory authority (Art. 33)	"Most expedient time possible" to consumers
Enforcement	DPAs with fines up to 4% global turnover	California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), $2,500-$7,500 per violation
DPO requirement	Mandatory in many cases (Art. 37)	No DPO requirement
Children's data	Under 16 requires parental consent (Art. 8)	Under 16 opt-in for sale; under 13 parental consent

Practical alignment: Build a unified privacy program that satisfies the stricter GDPR requirements by default, then layer CCPA/CPRA-specific mechanisms (e.g., "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, annual metrics disclosure).

See also: ../ccpa-cpra-specialist/SKILL.md for full CCPA/CPRA compliance workflows and tools.

Infrastructure Privacy Controls

Cookie Consent and Tracking

Implement compliant cookie consent per GDPR Art. 6 + ePrivacy Directive:

Category	Examples	Consent Required	Default State
Strictly Necessary	Session, CSRF, load balancer	No	Active
Functional	Language preference, UI settings	Yes	Inactive
Analytics	Google Analytics, Matomo, Hotjar	Yes	Inactive
Marketing	Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, retargeting	Yes	Inactive

Implementation requirements:

• Banner must block all non-essential cookies until explicit consent
• Pre-checked boxes are NOT valid consent (Planet49 ruling, CJEU C-673/17)
• Consent must be as easy to withdraw as to give
• Record consent proof (timestamp, version, choices made)
• Re-consent on material changes to cookie policy

Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signal

Per CCPA/CPRA regulations and emerging EU guidance:

• Detect Sec-GPC: 1 HTTP header and navigator.globalPrivacyControl JavaScript API
• Treat GPC as valid opt-out signal for CCPA/CPRA
• For GDPR: GPC can serve as a signal of objection under Art. 21 — evaluate on a case-by-case basis
• Log GPC signal detection and honor it automatically

Data Localization and Cross-Border Transfers

Transfer Mechanism	Status (post-Schrems II)	When to Use
EU Adequacy Decision	Valid	Transfers to adequate countries (e.g., Japan, UK, South Korea, US via DPF)
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)	Valid with TIA	Default mechanism for non-adequate countries
Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs)	Valid	Intra-group transfers in multinationals
EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF)	Valid (since July 2023)	US companies certified under DPF
Derogations (Art. 49)	Limited use only	Explicit consent, contract necessity — not for systematic transfers

Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) requirements for SCCs:

1. Map the data flow (what data, to whom, where)
2. Assess recipient country legal framework (surveillance laws, access by authorities)
3. Evaluate supplementary measures needed (encryption, pseudonymization, contractual)
4. Document assessment and review annually

• Conduct and document bias testing (protected characteristics under Art. 9)
• Log all automated decisions with reasoning for auditability
• Include AI decision-making in privacy notice (Art. 13(2)(f), Art. 14(2)(g))

AI Training Data Requirements

Requirement	GDPR Basis	Action
Lawful basis for training data	Art. 6	Legitimate interest (with DPIA) or consent
Purpose limitation	Art. 5(1)(b)	Training purpose must be compatible with original collection
Data minimization	Art. 5(1)(c)	Use minimum data necessary; prefer synthetic/anonymized data

Enhanced DPIA Methodology with EU AI Act Integration

When DPIA + AI Act Conformity Assessment Overlap

For AI systems processing personal data, both GDPR Art. 35 DPIA and EU AI Act conformity assessment may apply:

AI Risk Level (EU AI Act)	GDPR DPIA Required?	Combined Assessment Approach
Unacceptable (Art. 5)	N/A — prohibited	Do not deploy
High-risk (Annex III)	Almost always yes	Joint DPIA + conformity assessment
Limited risk (Art. 50)	Evaluate per Art. 35 criteria	DPIA if systematic monitoring or profiling
Minimal risk	Evaluate per Art. 35 criteria	Standard DPIA threshold assessment

Enhanced DPIA Process for AI Systems

Step 1: AI System Classification
        → Classify under EU AI Act risk levels
        → Map to GDPR Art. 35(3) triggers

Step 2: Data Flow and Processing Analysis
        → Document training data sources and legal basis
        → Map inference data flows
        → Identify automated decision points (Art. 22)

Step 3: AI-Specific Risk Assessment
        → Bias and discrimination risk (protected groups)
        → Accuracy and reliability risk
        → Explainability and transparency gaps
        → Data quality and representativeness
        → Model drift and ongoing monitoring needs

Step 4: Fundamental Rights Impact
        → Right to non-discrimination
        → Right to privacy and data protection
        → Freedom of expression (content moderation AI)
        → Right to an effective remedy

Step 5: Combined Mitigation Measures
        → Technical: differential privacy, federated learning, model cards
        → Organizational: AI ethics board, human oversight procedures
        → Contractual: AI-specific DPA clauses with processors
        → Monitoring: continuous bias monitoring, performance drift detection

Step 6: DPO and Supervisory Authority Consultation
        → Consult DPO on combined assessment
        → Prior consultation with SA if high residual risk (Art. 36)
        → Notify national AI authority if high-risk AI system

Privacy by Design Technical Controls

Data Minimization Techniques

Technique	Description	Use Case
Field-level encryption	Encrypt specific PII fields at rest	Database storage
Tokenization	Replace PII with non-reversible tokens	Payment processing, analytics
Data masking	Obscure portions of data (e.g., email: j***@example.com)	UI display, logging
Aggregation	Process only aggregated/statistical data	Analytics, reporting
Purpose-scoped access	Limit data access to specific processing purposes	Multi-purpose systems
Automatic expiration	TTL-based data deletion	Session data, temporary processing

Pseudonymization Implementation (Recital 26, Art. 4(5))

Method	Reversibility	Strength	Best For
HMAC-based	Reversible with key	Strong	Internal analytics with re-identification need
Format-preserving encryption	Reversible with key	Strong	Legacy system compatibility
Deterministic hashing (salted)	One-way	Medium	Cross-dataset linkage without PII
Random ID mapping	Reversible with lookup table	Strong	Research datasets

Key management for pseudonymization:

• Store re-identification keys separately from pseudonymized data
• Apply strict access controls to key material (minimum two-person rule)
• Document key rotation schedule
• Log all re-identification events

Encryption Standards

Layer	Minimum Standard	Recommended
At rest	AES-256	AES-256-GCM with envelope encryption
In transit	TLS 1.2	TLS 1.3
Database	Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)	Column-level encryption for PII
Backups	AES-256	AES-256 + separate key from production
Key management	Hardware-backed (HSM/KMS)	Cloud KMS with customer-managed keys (BYOK)

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Resolution
Compliance checker reports critical findings for special category data	Code processes health, biometric, or religious data without explicit consent or Art. 9(2) exception	Identify all special category data processing; secure explicit consent or document applicable Art. 9(2) exception; implement field-level encryption for sensitive fields
DPIA generator determines assessment required but organization has no DPIA process	Processing triggers Art. 35(3) criteria (systematic monitoring, large-scale special categories, or automated decision-making)	Follow the DPIA methodology in references/dpia_methodology.md; generate template with dpia_generator.py --template; consult DPO before proceeding; consider prior consultation with supervisory authority if high residual risk (Art. 36)
Data subject rights requests consistently exceed 30-day deadline	Manual fulfillment without tracking system, unclear data location, or complex verification requirements	Deploy data_subject_rights_tracker.py for automated deadline monitoring; map all personal data locations using data inventory; streamline identity verification to proportionate measures
Cross-border transfer mechanism invalidated or uncertain	Reliance on deprecated mechanism or Transfer Impact Assessment not completed for SCCs	Review current adequacy decisions (UK, Japan, South Korea, US via DPF); for SCCs, complete Transfer Impact Assessment per Schrems II requirements; document supplementary measures (encryption, pseudonymization)
Cookie consent banner flagged as non-compliant	Pre-checked boxes, cookie wall blocking access, or reject button harder to find than accept	Implement TCF 2.2 compliant CMP; ensure all non-essential cookies blocked until explicit consent; make reject as prominent as accept (per Planet49 ruling, CJEU C-673/17); record consent proof
GDPR compliance checker detects personal data in application logs	Application logs contain email addresses, IP addresses, or user identifiers	Implement log sanitization to mask or pseudonymize personal data before storage; configure logging frameworks to exclude PII fields; set log retention limits aligned with purpose
AI system processing personal data lacks Art. 22 safeguards	Automated decision-making produces legal or significant effects without human review mechanism	Implement human-in-the-loop for high-stakes decisions; provide right to explanation and right to contest; document algorithmic logic in plain language; include AI decision-making in privacy notice per Art. 13(2)(f)

---

Success Criteria

• Compliance score of 80+ on codebase scan -- indicating no critical personal data exposure issues, with all high-risk patterns addressed and documented
• All data subject rights requests fulfilled within 30 days -- tracked via data_subject_rights_tracker.py with identity verification completed, response templates generated, and compliance reports showing zero overdue requests
• DPIA completed for all high-risk processing activities -- covering Art. 35(3) triggers, WP29 criteria, risk mitigation measures, and DPO consultation; prior SA consultation documented where required
• Records of Processing Activities (Art. 30) maintained and current -- covering all processing activities with purposes, legal bases, data categories, recipients, retention periods, and transfer mechanisms
• Cross-border transfer mechanisms validated -- adequacy decisions, SCCs with TIA, or BCRs in place for all international data flows, reviewed annually
• Cookie consent implementation compliant -- non-essential cookies blocked until explicit consent, reject as easy as accept, consent proof recorded with timestamp and version, GPC signal honored
• DPO appointed and registered where required -- including German BDSG Section 38 threshold (20+ employees processing personal data automatically), with supervisory authority notification

---

Scope & Limitations

In Scope:

• Codebase scanning for personal data patterns and risky processing practices
• DPIA generation following Art. 35 requirements with threshold assessment and risk mitigation
• Data subject rights request tracking (Art. 15-22) with deadline monitoring and response templates
• German BDSG-specific requirements (DPO threshold, employment data, video surveillance, credit scoring)
• Cross-border transfer mechanism assessment (adequacy decisions, SCCs, BCRs, DPF)
• AI-specific GDPR requirements (Art. 22 automated decisions, training data governance, profiling)
• Cross-framework privacy mapping (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, HIPAA, NIS2)

Out of Scope:

• Legal advice on specific legal basis selection or legitimate interest balancing tests -- consult DPO and legal counsel
• Supervisory authority notification or interaction for breach reporting (Art. 33-34)
• Implementation of cookie consent management platforms or consent management code
• GDPR representative appointment logistics for non-EU organizations (Art. 27)
• Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) application or approval process
• German Landesdatenschutzgesetze (state-level data protection laws) beyond general guidance

Important Notes:

• GDPR enforcement fines reached EUR 2.3 billion in 2025, a 38% year-over-year increase; healthcare violations spiked with average penalties of EUR 203,000
• The EU AI Act creates dual obligations for AI systems processing personal data -- both DPIA (GDPR Art. 35) and conformity assessment (AI Act) may apply simultaneously
• Dark patterns in consent interfaces are under heightened enforcement scrutiny; regulators are penalizing cookie walls, manipulative UI, and buried reject options
