The following diagram illustrates the complete GDPR compliance data flow, including data subject requests (DSR), data classification, consent management, retention policies, right to erasure, and audit logging. Key GDPR Data Flow Components:

Data Subject Requests (DSR) - Turquoise: Entry points for user rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability)
Data Classification - Light Yellow: Automated PII identification and classification
Consent Management - Coral Red: User consent capture, storage, and audit trail
Data Retention - Purple: Automated cleanup based on retention policies (365 days default)
Right to Erasure - Gold: Complete data deletion workflow with anonymization
Audit Logging - Green: Comprehensive logging of all GDPR-related actions
Data Storage - Blue: Encrypted storage with backup capabilities

All flows integrate with the audit logging system to maintain compliance evidence and detect anomalies.

Data Protection Principles

Right to Access

Users can request their data.Implementation:

from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends
from src.auth.middleware import get_current_user

router = APIRouter()

@router.get("/api/v1/users/me/data")
async def export_user_data(user = Depends(get_current_user)):
    """Export all user data (GDPR Article 15)"""

    # Gather all user data
    data = {
        "profile": await get_user_profile(user.id),
        "conversations": await get_user_conversations(user.id),
        "sessions": await get_user_sessions(user.id),
        "preferences": await get_user_preferences(user.id),
        "audit_log": await get_user_audit_log(user.id)
    }

    # Log the access request
    await audit_log.log(
        user_id=user.id,
        action="data_export",
        timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
    )

    return data

Testing:

# Test data export
curl -X GET https://api.yourdomain.com/api/v1/users/me/data \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Right to Deletion

Users can request data deletion.Implementation:

@router.delete("/api/v1/users/me")
async def delete_user_account(
    user = Depends(get_current_user),
    confirm: bool = Query(...)
):
    """Delete user account and all data (GDPR Article 17)"""

    if not confirm:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=400,
            detail="Confirmation required for account deletion"
        )

    # Log deletion request
    await audit_log.log(
        user_id=user.id,
        action="account_deletion_requested",
        timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
    )

    # Delete user data
    await delete_user_conversations(user.id)
    await delete_user_sessions(user.id)
    await delete_user_preferences(user.id)
    await anonymize_audit_logs(user.id)  # Keep for compliance

    # Delete OpenFGA tuples
    await openfga_client.delete_tuples([
        {"user": f"user:{user.id}", "relation": "*", "object": "*"}
    ])

    # Delete user account
    await delete_user(user.id)

    # Final audit log (anonymized)
    await audit_log.log(
        user_id="deleted",
        action="account_deleted",
        original_user_id=user.id,
        timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
    )

    return {"message": "Account deleted successfully"}

Right to Rectification

Users can correct their data.Implementation:

@router.patch("/api/v1/users/me")
async def update_user_profile(
    profile_update: UserProfileUpdate,
    user = Depends(get_current_user)
):
    """Update user profile (GDPR Article 16)"""

    # Validate update
    validated_data = profile_update.dict(exclude_unset=True)

    # Log the update
    await audit_log.log(
        user_id=user.id,
        action="profile_updated",
        changes=validated_data,
        timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
    )

    # Update profile
    updated_user = await update_user(user.id, validated_data)

    return updated_user

Data Portability

Export data in machine-readable format.Implementation:

@router.get("/api/v1/users/me/export")
async def export_user_data_portable(
    format: str = Query("json", regex="^(json|csv)$"),
    user = Depends(get_current_user)
):
    """Export data in portable format (GDPR Article 20)"""

    data = await gather_user_data(user.id)

    if format == "json":
        return JSONResponse(content=data)
    elif format == "csv":
        csv_data = convert_to_csv(data)
        return Response(
            content=csv_data,
            media_type="text/csv",
            headers={
                "Content-Disposition": f"attachment; filename=user_data_{user.id}.csv"
            }
        )

Track and manage user consent.Implementation:

from pydantic import BaseModel
from enum import Enum

class ConsentType(str, Enum):
    ANALYTICS = "analytics"
    MARKETING = "marketing"
    THIRD_PARTY = "third_party"

class ConsentRecord(BaseModel):
    user_id: str
    consent_type: ConsentType
    granted: bool
    timestamp: datetime
    ip_address: str
    user_agent: str

@router.post("/api/v1/users/me/consent")
async def update_consent(
    consent: ConsentRecord,
    request: Request,
    user = Depends(get_current_user)
):
    """Update user consent preferences"""

    # Record consent with metadata
    consent_record = ConsentRecord(
        user_id=user.id,
        consent_type=consent.consent_type,
        granted=consent.granted,
        timestamp=datetime.utcnow(),
        ip_address=request.client.host,
        user_agent=request.headers.get("user-agent")
    )

    await store_consent(consent_record)

    # Log consent change
    await audit_log.log(
        user_id=user.id,
        action="consent_updated",
        consent_type=consent.consent_type,
        granted=consent.granted
    )

    return {"status": "consent_recorded"}

@router.get("/api/v1/users/me/consent")
async def get_consent_status(user = Depends(get_current_user)):
    """Get current consent status"""
    return await get_user_consents(user.id)

Data Minimization

Collect only necessary data.Implementation:

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class UserRegistration(BaseModel):
    """Minimal user data collection"""
    email: EmailStr
    # Password handled by Keycloak

    # Optional fields
    name: Optional[str] = None

    class Config:
        # Reject extra fields
        extra = "forbid"

# Auto-delete old data
async def cleanup_old_data():
    """Delete data older than retention period"""

    retention_days = 365  # 1 year
    cutoff_date = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(days=retention_days)

    # Delete old conversations
    await db.execute(
        "DELETE FROM conversations WHERE created_at < :cutoff AND archived = true",
        {"cutoff": cutoff_date}
    )

    # Delete old sessions
    await db.execute(
        "DELETE FROM sessions WHERE last_accessed < :cutoff",
        {"cutoff": cutoff_date}
    )

    logger.info("Deleted data older than retention period")

# Schedule cleanup
from apscheduler.schedulers.asyncio import AsyncIOScheduler

scheduler = AsyncIOScheduler()
scheduler.add_job(cleanup_old_data, 'cron', hour=3)  # Daily at 3 AM

Privacy by Design

Build privacy into the system.Implementation:

# Pseudonymization
import hashlib

def pseudonymize(user_id: str) -> str:
    """Pseudonymize user ID for analytics"""
    salt = settings.pseudonymization_salt
    return hashlib.sha256(f"{user_id}{salt}".encode()).hexdigest()

# Anonymization for logs
class AuditLog(BaseModel):
    user_id: str
    action: str
    timestamp: datetime

    @classmethod
    def create_anonymized(cls, user_id: str, action: str):
        """Create anonymized audit log"""
        return cls(
            user_id=pseudonymize(user_id),
            action=action,
            timestamp=datetime.utcnow()
        )

# Data encryption at rest
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

class EncryptedField:
    """Encrypt sensitive fields"""

    def __init__(self, key: bytes):
        self.cipher = Fernet(key)

    def encrypt(self, value: str) -> bytes:
        return self.cipher.encrypt(value.encode())

    def decrypt(self, encrypted: bytes) -> str:
        return self.cipher.decrypt(encrypted).decode()

# Usage
encryption_key = settings.encryption_key
encryptor = EncryptedField(encryption_key)

# Encrypt before storage
encrypted_data = encryptor.encrypt(sensitive_data)
await db.execute("INSERT INTO secrets (data) VALUES (:data)",
                 {"data": encrypted_data})
