Compliance Guide

Anchor provides tools for GDPR, CCPA, AI Act, and other regulatory compliance. Export user data, delete on request, and generate compliance reports.

Data Export

Export all data for a user or subject:

# Export all data for a user
export = anchor.compliance.get_user_data("user@example.com")

# Export in different formats
export_json = anchor.compliance.get_user_data("user@example.com", format="json")
export_csv = anchor.compliance.get_user_data("user@example.com", format="csv")

Data Deletion

Delete all data for a user with cryptographic proof:

# Delete all data for a user (with cryptographic proof)
certificate = anchor.compliance.delete_user_data("user@example.com")

print(f"Certificate ID: {certificate.id}")  # Proof of deletion
print(f"Deleted at: {certificate.deleted_at}")
print(f"Data points deleted: {certificate.data_points_deleted}")

Compliance Reports

Generate compliance reports for various regulations:

• GDPR: Right to access, right to erasure, data portability
• CCPA: California Consumer Privacy Act compliance
• AI Act: EU AI Act compliance reporting

Best Practices

• Respond to data requests within required timeframes (e.g., 30 days for GDPR)
• Store deletion certificates as proof of compliance
• Regularly audit your data retention policies
• Use policy enforcement to prevent storing unnecessary PII
• Document your compliance processes
