The client handles sensitive personal health data (including medical records and prescription information), making GDPR compliance essential for protecting patient privacy and maintaining trust. The challenge was to ensure that all data processing activities adhered to GDPR requirements, such as obtaining user consent, ensuring data protection by design, appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO), and upholding the right to data erasure
