GDPR and personal data

Question

I have an application mobile developed by the flutter and Firestore dB.

I read somewhere that the app must respect the GDPR.

My Firestore content infos user (email, PhoneNumber, image,) and infos for their stores (phones, images, position...)

which data have I to encrypt to respect this GDPR and what also I have to do,

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can find most relevant information here.

The GDPR applies to:

• a company or entity which processes personal data as part of the activities of one of its branches established in the EU, regardless of where the data is processed;

• or a company established outside the EU and is offering goods/services (paid or for free) or is monitoring the behaviour of individuals in the EU.

So it most likely applies to you.

The GDPR is not about encryption, it is about consent. I strongly suggest you read the whole page I linked, there is no way I could explain the GDPR in a single post here.

If in doubt, ask a local lawyer.
