FAQ

Common Questions from US Startups

Do I really need GDPR compliance to sell in Europe? +
Yes. If you process personal data of EU residents – even from the US – GDPR applies to you. European business customers will require proof of compliance before signing contracts. Without it, you’re locked out of the market.
What’s the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF)? +
The DPF is the legal mechanism for transferring personal data from the EU to the US. It replaced Privacy Shield in 2023. US companies can self-certify, and this certification makes EU-US data transfers much simpler. I can guide you through the certification process.
How long does the compliance process take? +
For most SaaS startups, we can complete the core GDPR documentation in 2-4 weeks. AI Act compliance for Limited Risk systems takes an additional 2-4 weeks. This is significantly faster than building it in-house or working with large consulting firms.
