When does Remix trigger privacy obligations?
When Remix Triggers Privacy Obligations
Remix itself—as a framework—does not inherently collect, process, or transmit user data. Installing Remix does not automatically trigger GDPR, CCPA, or ePrivacy obligations.
However, privacy obligations arise the moment you:
- –Add third-party integrations (analytics, error tracking, CDNs, databases) that process user data through your Remix application. Example: integrating Sentry, PostHog, or Vercel Analytics creates a data flow that requires a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28 if the processor is in scope.
- –Collect form data, authentication tokens, or session cookies in your Remix routes or loaders. Even though Remix does not set cookies by default, you will almost certainly set session cookies or auth tokens in production. Under the ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) (implemented in PECR in the UK, CNIL guidance in France), non-essential cookies require explicit consent *before* being set.
- –Store user data server-side (databases, file systems) that Remix passes through its server-side loader functions. GDPR Chapter 3 (Articles 13–22) then applies: you must provide privacy notices, honor access/deletion requests, and document lawful basis.
- –Build for regulated sectors: healthcare (HIPAA/GDPR Article 9), payments (PCI DSS), or children under 13 (COPPA in the US, GDPR Article 8 for under-16s in the EU). These impose heightened obligations *regardless* of Remix's neutrality.
