GDPR does not only apply to companies based in Europe. Many businesses outside the EU are also required to comply if they collect, use, store, or manage personal data of EU residents. Have a look at the scenarios below to see whether GDPR may apply to your business.

Privacy gaps don't usually announce themselves. They surface when a customer files a data subject request you weren't set up to handle, an investor's due diligence checklist asks for your RoPA (Record of Processing Activities), or a breach forces you to explain to a supervisory authority why a retention policy never existed. As products expand into new markets and take on more personal data, new features, new vendors, and new AI models, that exposure grows quietly in the background until something forces it into the open.
GDPR affects every part of how a business handles data, from collection and storage to vendor contracts, marketing activities, and AI models. Each area carries its own requirements and potential compliance risks. At Bacancy, our GDPR compliance services cover the full picture, not just the parts that are easiest to document.
Through our GDPR compliance consulting, we map your current data handling practices against GDPR requirements and identify compliance gaps, including missing legal bases, undocumented data flows, vendors without signed DPAs, and undefined data retention periods.
Through our data governance services, we trace how personal data moves through your systems, where it is collected, stored, accessed, and shared, and document it in the Records of Processing Activities required under Article 30.
For processing activities that may pose a high risk to individuals, such as AI features, large-scale profiling, or biometric systems, we conduct DPIAs required under Article 35 and recommend measures to reduce identified risks.
Our DPO as a Service offering provides experienced data protection professionals who help monitor compliance, guide DPIAs, act as a point of contact for supervisory authorities, and support the handling of data subject requests.
If your organization processes EU personal data without an establishment in the EU, Article 27 may require a local representative. We can serve in that role and manage communications with authorities and data subjects on your behalf.
We prepare privacy policies, data processing agreements, internal data protection policies, and breach response procedures that align with your actual data processing activities.
We help configure consent management platforms and review your cookie and tracking technologies against GDPR requirements, addressing common compliance issues such as pre-selected consent options and cookies being placed before consent is obtained.
Our professionals help establish a process for verifying requester identities, locating personal data across systems, and responding within GDPR timelines while maintaining a clear audit trail for each request.
We follow a structured process to find the gaps, fix what's actually risky, and keep your program from drifting out of date after launch.
Your current policies, systems, contracts, and data flows are examined according to GDPR requirements to determine your actual status.
Each data handling system is mapped, indicating data collected, purposes, legal justification, storage locations, recipients, and retention period.
Gaps are identified, and we address them through updates, consent management improvements, vendor agreement reviews, and retention policy changes.
These processes are integrated into your team's operations as DSAR procedures, breach reporting processes, and vendor assessments for new projects.
We watch for regulatory updates, new processing activities, and emerging risks, so your program doesn't drift out of date six months after we leave.

Patient records, wearable device data, and telehealth platforms carry GDPR's special category obligations under Article 9, layered on top of HIPAA or local health-data laws where they apply. Our GDPR work covers:
KYC documents, transaction histories, and credit data create some of the highest-stakes processing under GDPR, with cross-border transfer rules that get complicated fast for multi-country operations. Our GDPR work covers:
Multi-tenant architectures, subprocessor chains, and AI features trained on customer data raise GDPR questions that generic privacy templates don't address. Our GDPR work covers:
Checkout flows, marketing pixels, loyalty programs, and abandoned-cart emails all process personal data, and most retailers have more tracking scripts running than anyone's actually audited. Our GDPR work covers:

Yes. GDPR applies to any company in the world that handles personal data of people living in the EU. It does not matter where your business is based or registered. If you serve EU customers, this rule applies to you.
It depends on your company size and how much data you handle, but most businesses take between two and six months. Small companies with simple data finish faster, while larger companies with many systems and departments usually need more time.
Cost depends on your company's size and how much data you process. Small businesses might pay a few thousand dollars total. Larger companies with complex data needs can pay much more. We offer a free call for an exact quote.
We use approved legal tools like Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework to move data safely across borders. These tools add protection so your data stays secure when it travels outside the EU. We check this regularly.
You will receive a GDPR compliance report, an updated privacy policy, a data map showing how data flows through your business, signed data processing agreements with vendors, staff training materials, and a clear action plan for staying compliant going forward.
