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.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
gdpr 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 event |
gdpr audit <input> | Log an audit finding or compliance check result |
gdpr store <input> | Log a data storage event (what was stored and where) |
gdpr retrieve <input> | Log a data retrieval/access event |
gdpr expire <input> | Log a data expiration or retention event |
gdpr policy <input> | Log a policy change or update |
gdpr report <input> | Log a report entry or compliance summary |
gdpr 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
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
gdpr stats | Show summary statistics across all log files |
gdpr 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 recent | Show the 20 most recent entries from the activity log |
gdpr status | Health check — version, data dir, entry count, disk usage |
gdpr help | Show the built-in help message |
gdpr version | Print 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.
