If your business software stores personal data, GDPR applies. Here’s what that means for custom-built applications.
Key GDPR Principles
- Data minimisation: Only collect data you actually need. A custom app is built to collect exactly the right data.
- Access controls: Only authorised people should access personal data. Role-based logins enforce this.
- Subject access requests: If someone asks for their data, you need to provide it. A database makes this a simple query.
How Custom Software Helps
Moving from spreadsheets to a proper application improves GDPR compliance. You gain access controls, audit trails, and the ability to find, export, or delete an individual’s data quickly. GDPR compliance is built in, not bolted on.
