Frequently Asked Questions

What is a GDPR data flow diagram and when do I need one?01

A GDPR data flow diagram maps how personal data enters, moves through, and exits your systems — identifying every actor, process, datastore, and trust boundary. You need one when conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA), responding to a regulator audit, or documenting Article 30 Records of Processing Activities.

How do I identify which data flows need a legal transfer mechanism?02

Any flow that crosses from an EU trust boundary to a non-EU external actor (such as a US-based analytics vendor or a cloud provider without an adequacy decision) requires a legal basis like Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Binding Corporate Rules. The diagram flags these boundary-crossing flows automatically so you can prioritize your compliance review.

Can I customize the diagram after it is generated?03

Yes. Describe the change in the chat — for example, add a consent management platform, split the user database into separate EU and non-EU stores, or rename a data flow label — and the AI updates the diagram and explanation in seconds.

Can I export the diagram?04

Yes. Export as PNG from the editor toolbar, or copy the diagram source to paste into presentations, DPIA reports, or compliance documentation.

Is it free to use?05
