US companies with EU users are exposed in ways a privacy policy doesn't fix.

No record of processing activities, no documented lawful basis, no DPA with your subprocessors β€” any one of these turns a routine customer inquiry into a supervisory authority complaint.

The "privacy policy = compliant" pitch
  • A generic privacy policy template with no RoPA behind it
  • Lawful basis for processing never documented per activity
  • No DPAs or SCCs in place with vendors handling EU personal data
  • DSAR requests handled ad hoc, with no defined response clock
The DarkDataLabs way
  • An Article 30 record of processing built from your actual data flows, not a fill-in-the-blank template
  • Lawful basis documented per processing activity, with DPIAs run where the law actually requires one
  • DPAs and SCCs drafted or reviewed for every vendor and customer relationship that moves EU personal data
  • A DSAR intake and response process that meets the statutory deadline, every time

GDPR Compliance Experts β€” straight answers

Can you make us GDPR compliant overnight?

No. A privacy policy swap takes an afternoon; documenting your actual processing activities, lawful basis, and transfer mechanisms under Article 30 takes real discovery time. A free readiness scan tells you honestly how much ground you're covering and how long it will take.

We're a US company with no EU office β€” does GDPR even apply to us?

If you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behavior β€” including through a website, app, or SaaS product β€” GDPR can apply regardless of where your company is incorporated. The free scan includes an applicability check as the first step.

What is a RoPA and do we actually need one?

A Record of Processing Activities under Article 30 documents what personal data you collect, why, where it goes, and how long you keep it. Most controllers and processors are required to maintain one, and it's the document a supervisory authority will ask for first in any inquiry.

We just received a DSAR β€” what happens if we miss the response deadline?

Data subject access requests generally require a response within one month, extendable in limited cases. Missing that window is itself a compliance failure, separate from whatever the request uncovers. Tell us in the free scan if a request is already in flight and we'll flag the timeline first.

Do you handle cookie consent banners too?

Yes, as part of a full engagement β€” but a compliant cookie banner without a RoPA or documented lawful basis behind it is cosmetic. We fix the underlying data mapping first, then the consent layer that sits on top of it.
