Yes. Every coffee roaster in Dublin that processes personal data of EU residents must comply with GDPR. This includes collecting customer names, email addresses, payment details, or any information that can identify a person. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover. The Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland is actively enforcing these rules.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Every Coffee Roaster in Ireland needs these documents to demonstrate GDPR compliance.
STEP BY STEP
Publish a privacy notice on your website that clearly explains data collection across subscriptions, one-off purchases, wholesale, and market stall sign-ups.
Ensure your subscription management platform has a data processing agreement in place and that you understand where subscriber data is stored.
Implement proper cookie consent on your website — do not load analytics or marketing cookies until the visitor has actively consented.
Set clear data retention rules: delete cancelled subscriber data within 6 months and review wholesale contact records annually.
Obtain explicit opt-in consent for marketing emails at every customer touchpoint — website checkout, market stall sign-ups, and wholesale onboarding.
Provide an easy way for subscribers and customers to access, correct, or delete their personal data.
Train any staff who handle customer orders, subscriptions, or wholesale accounts on basic GDPR principles and your data handling procedures.
COMMON PITFALLS
Automatically adding every online customer to the marketing newsletter at checkout without providing a separate, unticked consent checkbox.
Not having a data processing agreement with the subscription management platform that stores all your subscriber data.
Keeping detailed records of former subscribers and their preferences for years after they cancelled.
Treating wholesale buyer contacts as purely business data when it often includes personal names, mobile numbers, and personal email addresses that are covered by GDPR.
