GDPR Image Placeholder
Overview
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) set a new standard for data privacy, and for Django developers, it meant a shift in how we handle user data, consent, and the "right to be forgotten."
Key Considerations
- Data Minimisation: Only store what you absolutely need.
- User Rights: Implementing tools to allow users to export or delete their data.
- Audit Trails: Ensuring logs are maintained without compromising privacy.
In Django, leveraging the built-in User model while extending it with custom PII (Personally Identifiable Information) handling is critical. Always ensure that your database migrations and data exports are strictly controlled.
