The General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is a European regulation with sweeping consequences for virtually any business that operates in Europe, or serves European users or customers in any capacity. Introduced in 2016, and fully implemented in 2018, the GDPR has become a model for data-privacy laws around the world. But understanding and ensuring compliance with the original GDPR remains a significant challenge for businesses. ###### Who needs to comply with GDPR? No matter where you’re based and no matter the size or nature of your business, if you collect any data pertaining to a person based in the European Union—from a customer’s phone number to a website visitor’s IP address—then you need to pay attention to the GDPR.‍ ###### Why is being compliant with GDPR important? The GDPR is a European regulation, and as you’d expect it affects virtually every business that operates in the European Union. But don’t assume you’re safe just because your business is headquartered outside the EU. If you have any business dealings with people who are based in Europe, you could fall under the purview of the GDPR. Any company with a physical presence in Europe will almost certainly be subject to the GDPR. Even a company that doesn’t collect data about customers will likely collect data about its employees, and thus need to comply with the GDPR. ‍ But the GDPR also applies to companies serving European customers, even if the business itself is based elsewhere. If you ship your products to a customer in Belgium, for instance, you’ll need to handle that customer’s data in GDPR-compliant ways. And don’t assume that you’re safe just because you aren’t selling into European markets. If your digital services or websites are accessible from Europe, you’re likely collecting data about Europeans who browse your online offerings. That alone is enough to trigger the GDPR, even if you never receive a single euro from those digital visitors. The bottom line: no matter where you’re based, and no matter the size or nature of your business, if you collect any data pertaining to a person based in the European Union—from a customer’s phone number to a website visitor’s IP address—then you need to pay attention to the GDPR. ###### Am I safe from Europe’s GDPR enforcer? Don't ignore the cost of non-compliance. Non-compliance with GDPR can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover, whichever is higher, along with reputational damage. Don’t assume you’re safe just because your company isn’t a household name. While large multinational firms draw the most regulatory attention, even small businesses are now being hit by enforcement actions and landed with fines totaling thousands of dollars.It’s also important to remember that while European regulators might not have direct jurisdiction over companies that don’t have a physical presence in Europe, that doesn’t mean it’s totally toothless. For noncompliant businesses, the GDPR has a sting in its tail. These three firms were hit with the steepest GDPR fines to date: - British Airways: €204.6m - Marriot International: €110.3m - Google: €50m   ###### How does Ketch help with GDPR cookie compliance?

With Ketch, you can automate opt-outs, collect consent, enforce consumer privacy choices across your systems.

The cost varies based on business size and complexity, but Ketch data privacy compliance software offers scalable solutions starting with free for businesses that have fewer than 5000 unique monthly visitors. ###### Do I need technical expertise to use Ketch's GDPR compliance platform? No, the Ketch platform is designed with keeping non-tech users in mind. With its no-code functionality, intuitive workflows, and dedicated support, non-technical users can easily manage and maintain GDPR compliance without needing advanced technical skills. ###### Do I need a GDPR checklist to stay compliant?
