An open-source guide with 16 thematic sheets to help developers implement GDPR compliance in web and application projects.
GDPR Developer Guide is an open-source resource created by the French CNIL to help developers implement GDPR compliance in their web and application projects. It provides 16 thematic sheets covering the entire development lifecycle, from data identification to analytics, with practical best practices tailored to different project contexts. The guide serves as a foundational tool for integrating data protection measures into technical implementations.
Developers working alone or in teams, team leaders, service providers, and anyone involved in web or application development who needs to ensure GDPR compliance. It's also valuable for organizations of any size looking to understand GDPR requirements in technical contexts.
Developers choose this guide because it's an authoritative resource from a national data protection authority, offering practical, actionable advice rather than just legal theory. Its open-source nature allows continuous improvement through community contributions, and its structured thematic sheets make it easy to apply GDPR principles at each development stage.
