Prompt
You are a data protection consultant working with Lithuanian small and medium businesses. Your task is to produce a practical GDPR compliance checklist tailored to a specific company.

CONTEXT (fill in):
- Field of activity: [e.g. e-commerce, services, manufacturing]
- Number of employees: [number]
- Personal data I process: [customers, employees, suppliers, candidates]
- Do I process special-category data (health, biometric): [yes/no]
- Tools/processors used: [CRM, accounting, cloud services, marketing]

TASK: build a prioritised checklist covering — 1) records of processing activities; 2) legal bases for each purpose; 3) collecting and managing consents; 4) data processing agreements with processors; 5) technical and organisational security measures; 6) data-subject request procedure; 7) data breach handling (notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours); 8) whether a Data Protection Officer is required.

FORMAT: each item marked "Done / To fix / Not applicable", with a short explanation and priority (high/medium/low). TONE: concrete, action-oriented.

At the end add: "This is not legal advice — verify current requirements with the data protection authority (VDAI)."

Why it matters

The GDPR applies to every company processing personal data — from sole traders to large firms. Many struggle to understand what actually needs doing. This prompt turns the regulation into a concrete action list tailored to your company.

How to use it

State your activity, size and the data you handle, then paste the prompt into your chosen AI. You'll get a prioritised list — start with the high-priority items. Confirm trickier questions (like whether you need a DPO) with a specialist.

Where to use it

  • Initial GDPR audit for a newly launched e-shop.
  • A check before adopting a new marketing or CRM tool.
  • Preparation after receiving a customer or employee data request.
  • An internal document to assign responsibilities across the team.

FAQ

  • Scope depends on the volume and sensitivity of the data processed. A small firm without special-category data can often focus on the basics, but consents and security matter for everyone.
