What is GDPR Privacy Shield exactly?

A five-question risk screening that checks the most common GDPR pitfalls with AI use in Nordic businesses: data processing agreement, third-country transfer, data minimization, processing basis, and deletion duty. You get a risk score and concrete action list in under two minutes.

Does this replace a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)?

No. A full DPIA is often required for high-risk processing and must be done by a DPO or lawyer. GDPR Privacy Shield is a pre-DPIA screening that helps you identify whether you have a problem at all, and if so, how severe.

Do you store my answers?

No. The check runs entirely in the browser — no data is sent to our server. The result is shown locally and disappears when you close the tab.

Is it legal to use ChatGPT in a Nordic business?

Yes, but it depends on usage. ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Team have a ready data processing agreement and comply with EU-US Data Privacy Framework requirements. Free ChatGPT and ChatGPT Plus lack the agreement — there you must be careful with personal data and use Enterprise/Team for commercial purposes.

What about Gemini, Claude, and Copilot?

Google Workspace with Gemini, Anthropic Claude (Enterprise), and Microsoft 365 Copilot offer data processing agreements that typically comply with GDPR when configured correctly. The check points you to the right admin panel for each vendor.

GDPR Privacy Shield

Are you using AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini in your business — and sure it complies with GDPR and Nordic privacy law? GDPR Privacy Shield gives you a five-question risk assessment, covers the most common pitfalls (data processing agreement, US transfer, data minimization, consent, deletion duty), and tells you exactly what to fix.

Data verified: May 2026

What the check covers

Five areas where Nordic businesses typically fail GDPR with AI use: (1) data processing agreement with the vendor, (2) lawful transfer basis for third countries (USA), (3) data minimization — are you sending more personal data than necessary?, (4) consent or processing basis, and (5) deletion duty after the task is complete.

Who it is for

Businesses that have started using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or other LLMs in daily operations — customer service, content, code generation, document analysis — and want a quick sanity check on GDPR and privacy law compliance. Especially relevant for SMBs without a dedicated DPO.

What you get

A risk score (low/medium/high) per question, an overall assessment, and an action list ranked by severity. Each recommendation references a specific GDPR article and a practical step you can take today — typically logging into the AI vendor's admin panel to disable logging or sign the DPA.

Limitation

The tool is a risk screening, not legal advice. For complex cases (health, finance, minors' data) or if you have less than one legal resource, we always recommend consulting a DPO or lawyer before implementation.

How to check your AI GDPR status

Three steps from start to concrete action list.

Pick your AI tool — State which AI tool you primarily use (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or other) and which plan tier you are on.
Answer five questions — Each question covers one GDPR area: processing agreement, third-country transfer, data minimization, consent, and deletion. Spend about 30 seconds per question.
Follow the action plan — You get an overall risk score and prioritized actions. Start with anything marked "High risk" — typically it involves logging into the AI vendor's admin and changing one setting.
