Yes. Every food truck in Kerry 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 Food Truck in Ireland needs these documents to demonstrate GDPR compliance.
STEP BY STEP
Publish a privacy notice on your website or social media page explaining what data you collect from customers and how you use it.
Use a dedicated business social media account rather than a personal one for customer communications, to keep personal and business data separate.
Put a data processing agreement in place with your mobile ordering app provider, payment terminal company, and any event booking platform you use.
Delete catering enquiry data from customers who did not proceed with a booking within 3 months of the enquiry.
Treat any allergy information provided by catering clients as special category health data and obtain explicit consent to process it.
Ensure your mobile payment terminal provider is PCI-DSS compliant and that you never store full card numbers on any personal device.
Keep a simple record of what personal data you hold, where it is stored, and when you plan to delete it.
COMMON PITFALLS
Managing all customer bookings and enquiries through personal WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger without any data protection measures.
Assuming that because you do not have a physical premises, GDPR does not apply to your food truck business.
Keeping a long list of past catering clients' personal contact details without ever reviewing or deleting old records.
Not providing any privacy information to customers because you think a food truck is too small to need one.
