GDPR by industry

Guides to how GDPR requirements differ by sector: healthcare, HR and employee data, AI systems, children and education, the public sector and e-commerce.

GDPR for healthcare providers and health tech

GDPR rules for health data: the Article 9 prohibition and care exception, professional secrecy, national add-ons, when DPIAs and DPOs become mandatory, access by default, and a 2026 hospital fine for weak remote access.

GDPR for HR and employee data

How the GDPR applies to employee data: why consent rarely works, legal obligation and employment-law bases, national employment rules under Article 88, special category data, and automated decisions about workers.

GDPR for AI systems and machine learning

GDPR questions for AI products: when a model is anonymous, legitimate interest for training and deployment, reasonable expectations, models built on unlawful data, automated decisions, DPIAs, and the link to AI Act deployer duties.

GDPR for children's data and edtech

Rules for services used by children: the age of digital consent and national variations, verifying parental consent, child-adapted information, the erasure ground for data collected from children, and DPIA triggers for vulnerable people.

GDPR for public sector organizations

How the GDPR treats public authorities differently: a mandatory DPO that can be shared, no legitimate interest for public tasks, limits on portability and transfer derogations, and national choices on fining public bodies.

GDPR for e-commerce and online retail

GDPR for online shops: collecting only what each order needs, contract necessity versus marketing, recommendations and direct marketing objections, cookies under the ePrivacy rules, and customer rights requests.
