GDPR for Logistics and Transport

Every shipment, tracking number, and customer invoice contains personal data. This course provides the specific compliance roadmap for the logistics sector, where data flows across borders and partners daily. Learn to secure your supply chain's data lifecycle from collection to final delivery.

Why GDPR is a Logistics and Transport Imperative

Data is the lifeblood of modern logistics, from driver details and consignee addresses to real-time geolocation. A single data breach can halt operations, trigger massive fines under Article 83 of the GDPR, and destroy customer trust. This module clarifies why data protection is not just an IT issue but a core operational and contractual requirement for every link in your supply chain.

Mapping Data Flows in Your Supply Chain

You will learn to identify and document all personal data touchpoints, from the initial order and customs documentation to last-mile delivery and returns. The course covers practical tools for creating Records of Processing Activities (ROPAs) specific to transport operations, understanding the roles of controller, processor, and joint-controller in complex logistics networks, and managing data transfers to non-EU countries.
