GDPR Compliance for Indian Exporters & SaaS
Protect EU customer data, pass enterprise vendor privacy audits, and avoid massive regulatory fines. SNB Consultancy provides end-to-end GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) readiness advisory for Indian technology exporters, IT service providers, and SaaS platforms.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enforced by the European Union applies extra-territorially to any Indian company that offers goods or services to EU residents or processes personal data of EU citizens.
Our GDPR Compliance Services Include:
- Personal Data Inventory & Data Flow Mapping across systems
- Drafting compliant Privacy Notices, Cookie Policies, and Consent Banners
- Execution of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and Data Processing Agreements (DPAs)
- Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for high-risk data processing
- Data Protection Officer (DPO) advisory and Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) protocol setup
Why GDPR Compliance is Critical for Indian IT Exporters
No Official "GDPR Certificate": Unlike ISO standards, the European Data Protection Board does not issue or recognize third-party "GDPR Certificates". Compliance is demonstrated through verifiable technical controls, organizational policies, and legal contracts (DPAs and SCCs).
In India, complying with GDPR also accelerates readiness for India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, ensuring your data governance satisfies both Indian and European regulatory bodies.
Key Principles of GDPR Enforcement
| GDPR Principle | Legal Requirement | Implementation Action |
|---|---|---|
| Lawfulness & Transparency | Valid legal basis (Consent, Contract, or Legitimate Interest) | Clear opt-in consent mechanisms & granular Privacy Notices. |
| Purpose Limitation | Collect data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes | Prevent secondary data usage without fresh user consent. |
| Data Minimization | Collect only personal data adequate and necessary for the purpose | Purge redundant user tracking fields and unnecessary KYC data. |
| Integrity & Confidentiality | Process data securely protecting against unauthorized processing | Implement AES-256 encryption at rest & TLS 1.3 in transit. |
| Cross-Border Data Transfer | Legally valid transfer mechanisms for transferring EU data to India | Execute EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in all customer contracts. |
Data Subject Rights under GDPR
- Right of Access & Portability: Users can request a copy of all personal data held in machine-readable format.
- Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Obligates vendors to permanently delete user data upon request.
- 72-Hour Breach Notification: Mandatory reporting of data breaches to supervisory authorities within 72 hours.
