GDPR applies to every coffee roaster in Ireland, whether you're based in Carrick-on-Shannon or anywhere across Leitrim. With approximately 1,900 SMEs in the county, the DPC has made it clear that enforcement applies to businesses of all sizes.
Leitrim is Ireland's least-populated county but has carved out niches in organic farming, artisan food, and creative industries. Carrick-on-Shannon is a popular destination for river cruising and hen/stag tourism. Remote working initiatives and affordable property have attracted a new wave of entrepreneurs and digital workers to the county. Coffee Roasters in Leitrim typically process customer names, email addresses, and phone numbers and delivery and billing addresses — both of which fall squarely under GDPR's definition of personal data. The risk of operating coffee subscription services that build detailed customer preference profiles over months or years makes compliance particularly important for this sector.
Let's walk through what compliance looks like for your business, step by step.
Yes — it's a legal requirement. Any coffee roaster in Leitrim processing personal data must meet GDPR standards. This covers everything from customer names and emails to CCTV footage and HR files. The DPC enforces compliance across all Irish businesses regardless of size, with fines of up to €20 million.

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.
