GDPR + Irish DPC, what should I expect for compliance?

The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) is one of the most active EU enforcement bodies, many global tech giants (Meta, Google, Apple, TikTok, Microsoft) are HQ’d in Ireland because they wanted DPC as their lead supervisory authority. Practical impact for Magento:

  • Lawful basis documented per processing operation (orders, marketing, analytics).
  • DSAR automation, one-click export of customer data + order history + cookie history within 30 days.
  • Cookie consent via Cookiebot / Usercentrics / Klaro, DPC requires opt-in, no pre-ticked checkboxes, granular categories.
  • Data Processor Agreements with every third party (Stripe, Mailchimp, hosting).
  • Breach notification within 72 hrs, we wire a logging hook so your DPO gets paged on suspicious access.

Strict but predictable, if you do it right once, DPC tends not to revisit.
