The thesis is based on the development of an application to support the operation of a student residence, which combines the key functionalities of student residences in one website. The focus is on developing an application that is not only functional but also compliant with legislative requirements. My main research question focuses on how to design an application that fully complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The PHP programming language, the Docker open-source platform and other technologies were used to develop the application. The research methodology includes requirements analysis, design, development and testing. An important part of the methodology was also a review of the existing legislation in the field of personal data protection, such as the GDPR and the Data Protection Act.
The research showed that the application successfully met the key requirements of the GDPR regarding the protection of personal data. Security measures were effectively applied to prevent potential security risks. Users were clearly informed about the processing of their data, which contributed to transparency in the management of personal data. Compliance with the requirements of the GDPR has enabled individuals to exercise their rights. This ensured a high level of data security and compliance with the guidelines for the lawful and secure processing of personal data.
The thesis contributes to the understanding and implementation of security mechanisms and GDPR guidelines in application development. Further development could include building a mobile application and presenting a beta version to users to obtain real usage data. The app not only contributes professionally, but also has a positive impact on the social environment in the student halls of residence, as it allows for better communication, which contributes to a better social life and a sense of belonging to a community.
