How to handle data export for compliance and reporting in Bubble.io: Step-by-Step Guide

 

Identify what data needs to be exported for compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC 2. This will depend on the nature of your application and the users you serve.

 

Organize your Bubble.io application's data structure to easily filter and access the information that needs to be exported. Ensure that personal identifiers and sensitive information are appropriately handled according to privacy laws.

 

Use Bubble’s backend workflows to create an automated process that packages the required data into an exportable format, such as CSV or JSON.

 

Ensure that only authorized personnel with the appropriate permissions can trigger the data export process to prevent any unauthorized access to sensitive information.

 

Set up triggers in your Bubble.io dashboard that allow administrators to manually start the data export process when needed, such as end-of-month reporting.

 

If regular exports are required for ongoing compliance, schedule the export workflow to run at the needed intervals automatically.

 

Before deploying, thoroughly test the data export process to ensure it reliably captures all necessary data and that the workflow executes correctly.

 

For laws like GDPR, create a process for deleting users' data upon request. This should be carefully tested to ensure compliance with data erasure requirements.

 

Provide clear information to users on how their data is used and exported. Include this in your privacy policy and in-app notices.

 

For compliance purposes, log each export that is performed, including what data was exported and when. Store these logs securely.
