THIS IS A GDPR COMPLIANCE CHECKER

NOT A MALICIOUS SCANNER OR PHISHING TOOL

WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS COMPLY WITH EUROPEAN DATA PROTECTION LAW

🔒 EU GDPR Git Validator

Are your Git repositories GDPR compliant?

This tool analyses your Git history for potential European data protection violations. Essential for any EU-based development team or organisation handling European user data.

🚀 Quick Start

 pip install -e .
gdpr-validator scan /path/to/your/repo

📋 What This Tool Does

• 🔍 Git History Scanner: Analyses commit logs for personal identifiable information
• 🌐 Fork Tracking: Documents how personal data propagates across repository forks
• 🔐 Hash Analysis: Examines git hashes for permanent data retention issues
• 📊 Branch Inspection: Checks branch metadata for personal data exposure
• ✅ GDPR Compliance Checker: Validates against specific GDPR articles
• 📄 Report Generator: Creates detailed compliance documentation

🎯 Why You Need This

Every Git repository potentially contains:

• Author names and email addresses in commit history
• Timestamps creating detailed activity patterns
• Personal data that propagates across forks indefinitely
• Cross-border data transfers without explicit consent
• Permanent data retention violating erasure rights

🎓 Educational Resources

GDPR Articles Relevant to Git Repositories

Article 6 - Lawful Basis for Processing

• Git commits process personal data (names, emails) - what's your lawful basis?

Article 13/14 - Information to be Provided

• Do contributors know their data will be permanently stored and distributed?

Article 17 - Right to Erasure

• Git's distributed nature makes data erasure technically impossible

Article 20 - Right to Data Portability

• Git format provides some portability, but with significant limitations

• ⚠️ GitHub CI Status

  Note: GitHub Actions is currently failing due to CI workflow quirks. The tool runs perfectly locally and is actively used. CI will be fixed if and when it becomes necessary. For now, focus is on local execution and real-world feedback.
