EU GDPR: compliance checklist for a NFT & Web3 marketplace
Before launch in Ireland, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under EU GDPR.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Ireland customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Ireland.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with Central Bank of Ireland applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a NFT & Web3 marketplace in Ireland
For clients in Ireland we usually host on AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), Azure North Europe, Google Cloud Dublin. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your NFT & Web3 marketplace for Ireland
