GDPR & ePrivacy Compliance for Start-Ups: Templates, Consent Tracking, and AI-Driven Privacy-Ops

This comprehensive course is specifically designed for founders, product leaders, general counsels, CTOs, and operations managers in fast-moving start-up environments who must embed European data-protection requirements into product and operational lifecycles—without drowning in legal jargon or unnecessary overhead. If you need to prove compliance from day one, win enterprise customers, avoid costly fines, and set up scalable privacy operations, this course is your complete guide.

Who Should Take This Course?

If your start-up processes personal data from EU, UK, or EEA individuals, or if you aim to attract enterprise clients with stringent contractual demands, this course is for you. It caters to:

• Founders and C-level executives who must operationalize privacy-by-design while balancing speed and regulatory risk
• Product managers and designers who build consent flows, user dashboards, and handle data mapping
• General counsels and legal officers responsible for policies, contracts, and vendor diligence
• CTOs and engineers who integrate technical controls, automate compliance, and manage audits
• Operations and compliance managers who coordinate teams, training, and incident response

What Will You Learn?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Build a live data-map that satisfies GDPR Article 30 (Records of Processing Activities) and the ePrivacy Directive’s cookie rules, using AI to accelerate inventory and classification.
• Run a full Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), document mitigations, and prepare for review by supervisory authorities—leveraging ready-to-use templates and AI-driven checklists.
• Collect, store, and retrieve user consents across web, mobile, and IoT platforms, ensuring you are audit-ready in seconds and can respond to data subject requests efficiently.
• Draft, negotiate, and operationalize Data Processing Agreements, Standard Contractual Clauses, UK IDTA, and Transfer Impact Assessments, even in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
• Integrate generative AI assistants to create privacy policies, incident reports, and automate data classification, while ensuring accuracy and controlling hallucination risk.

What Will You Get?

• Import-ready templates: DPIA, RoPA, consent-ledger schema, breach-notification playbook, and vendor assessment checklist.
• A curated prompt library for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral, and Azure OpenAI—tailored to legal tone, brand voice, or specific regulatory authority style.
• A “non-compliance cost” calculator to model administrative fines and commercial impact for management buy-in.
• A 7-day Privacy-by-Design roadmap for immediate integration into your sprint backlog or operational playbook.
