When does Nuxt.js trigger privacy obligations?
Data Collection Obligations
Nuxt.js itself is a framework—it does not inherently collect, process, or transmit personal data. Installing Nuxt.js alone does not trigger GDPR, CCPA, or ePrivacy compliance duties. However, obligations arise the moment you:
- –Add third-party modules or plugins (analytics, error tracking, A/B testing libraries) that send user data to external servers
- –Implement server-side rendering (SSR) with middleware that logs, stores, or processes user requests (IP addresses, session tokens, referrer data)
- –Use Nuxt's built-in Cookie API or session management to store identifiable information client-side
- –Deploy with authentication that captures user credentials or identity data
First Concrete Step
Audit your Nuxt.js codebase *before* launch:
1. List every `nuxt.config.ts` module, plugin, and dependency that touches network requests or local storage
2. For each, document what user data it collects and whether it leaves your domain
3. If data leaves your infrastructure or is stored server-side, identify the processor (if third-party) and triggering regulation (GDPR Article 4(11) if EU users; CCPA Section 1798.100 if California residents)
