leukeleu-django-gdpr

Installation

pip install leukeleu-django-gdpr

Add to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'leukeleu_django_gdpr',
    # ...
]

Usage:

On first run, leukeleu-django-gdpr will generate a gdpr.yml file with a models list. This is a list of models in your project, each containing a list of fields.

./manage.py gdpr

A file gdpr.yml is created in the project root directory. It should be added to version control. Each model in the models list has the following structure:

models:
  auth.User:
    name: User
    fields:
      username:
        name: Username
        description: String (up to %(max_length)s)
        help_text: Required. 150 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and @/./+/-/_
          only.
        required: true
        pii: null
      first_name:
        name: First Name
        description: String (up to %(max_length)s)
        help_text: ''
        required: false
        pii: null

Leukeleu-django-gdpr adds the pii: null to all fields. The objective is to replace all those null values with the correct boolean value; pii: true if the field represents PII data, pii: false otherwise.

When run again, leukeleu-django-gdpr will persist those values, allowing you to work your way to eliminating all pii: nulls.

Leukeleu-django-gdpr outputs counts of the pii: values when run:

./manage.py gdpr
Checking...
No PII set     48
PII True       1
PII False      0

Run with --check to make the command exit with exit code 1 if 'No PII set' > 0 (the yaml file will still be generated/updated).

You can prevent leukeleu-django-gdpr from writing (back) to the yaml file by running with the --dry-run flag.

Excluding/including

To exclude apps, models or fields from this process altogether, list them in the exclude: list in the yaml file. Each item is a regex which should match an object's string representation in the following formats;

• for apps: the app's label, such as admin or auth.
• for models: the model's label, such as admin.LogEntry or auth.Permission
• for fields: the model's label followed by . followed by the field's name, such as auth.User.username.

Keep in mind that the items in the list are considered to be regexes which should fully match the object's string representation.

Default excludes

By default, leukeleu-django-gdpr excludes fields of the following types:

• AutoField
• UUIDField
• BooleanField
• RelatedField

and the following models:

• ContentType

If you still want to include a field/model that would be excluded this way, you can put an item in the include: list in the yaml file:

include:
- clients\.Client\.external_epd_uuid
- accounts\.Profile\.is_pregnant

Pipelines

To run this in Bitbucket Pipelines you need to ensure this package can be installed from wherever this package is indexed. Run it with --check to make a (scheduled?) pipeline fail if there are unmarked fields, which can happen if someone adds a field to a model but forgets to mark it as (non-) PII in the gdpr.yml.

Reports

When run from a Bitbucket Pipeline, leukeleu-django-gdpr can send the PII stats as a report to Bitbucket. This will be visible in Pull Requests and Pipelines. Run with --report-pipeline to enable it.
