GDPR#

GDPR v2.0.0 — a security toolkit for managing GDPR compliance workflows from the command line. Log security operations, audit trails, policy changes, and more. Each entry is timestamped and persisted locally. Works entirely offline — your data never leaves your machine.

Commands#

Domain Commands#

Each domain command works in two modes: log mode (with arguments) saves a timestamped entry, view mode (no arguments) shows the 20 most recent entries.

CommandDescriptiongdpr generate <input>Log a generation event (privacy policy, consent form, etc.)gdpr check-strength <input>Log a strength check result (password, encryption, etc.)gdpr rotate <input>Log a key/credential rotation eventgdpr audit <input>Log an audit finding or compliance check resultgdpr store <input>Log a data storage event (what was stored and where)gdpr retrieve <input>Log a data retrieval/access eventgdpr expire <input>Log a data expiration or retention eventgdpr policy <input>Log a policy change or updategdpr report <input>Log a report entry or compliance summarygdpr hash <input>Log a hashing operation (data anonymization, etc.)gdpr verify <input>Log a verification result (identity, consent, integrity)gdpr revoke <input>Log a revocation event (consent withdrawal, access removal)

Utility Commands#

CommandDescriptiongdpr statsShow summary statistics across all log filesgdpr export <fmt>Export all data to a file (formats: json, csv, txt)gdpr search <term>Search all log entries for a term (case-insensitive)gdpr recentShow the 20 most recent entries from the activity loggdpr statusHealth check — version, data dir, entry count, disk usagegdpr helpShow the built-in help messagegdpr versionPrint the current version (v2.0.0)

Data Storage#

All data is stored locally at ~/.local/share/gdpr/. Each domain command writes to its own log file (e.g., audit.log, policy.log, revoke.log). A unified history.log tracks all actions across commands. Use export to back up your data at any time.

Requirements#

• Bash (4.0+)
• No external dependencies — pure shell script
• No network access required

When to Use#

• Auditing GDPR compliance across your organization's data practices
• Logging data access and retrieval events for accountability
• Tracking consent revocations and data subject requests
• Recording key/credential rotation schedules
• Documenting policy changes with timestamps for audit trails
• Managing data retention and expiration workflows
• Generating compliance reports from logged activity
• Exporting audit logs for regulatory submissions

Examples#

bash

# Log a compliance audit finding
gdpr audit "User data export endpoint missing encryption — needs fix"

# Record a policy update
gdpr policy "Updated cookie consent banner to include analytics opt-out"

# Log a consent revocation
gdpr revoke "User #4521 withdrew marketing consent via email"

# Track a key rotation
gdpr rotate "API key rotated for payment service, old key expires 2025-04-01"

# Log data storage event

# Verify identity check
gdpr verify "KYC verification passed for account #8832"

# Log a data expiration
gdpr expire "Inactive accounts older than 2 years purged per retention policy"

# Generate a hash record
gdpr hash "SHA-256 hash of user export file: a3f8c9..."

# Search across all logs
gdpr search "consent"

# Export everything as CSV
gdpr export csv

# Check overall status
gdpr status
