The Complete Guide to NDPR Toolkit: Nigeria's Premier Data Protection Solution

Introduction

The NDPR Toolkit is Nigeria's most comprehensive open-source solution for implementing data protection compliance in web applications. Developed by Tanta Innovative, this enterprise-grade toolkit provides everything organizations need to comply with the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and the Data Protection Act (DPA).

Why Choose NDPR Toolkit?

In today's digital landscape, data protection isn't just a legal requirement—it's a business imperative. Organizations that fail to comply with NDPR face significant penalties, including fines of up to 2% of annual gross revenue or ₦10 million, whichever is higher. The NDPR Toolkit eliminates the complexity of compliance by providing:

• Pre-built React components for common data protection scenarios
• Type-safe TypeScript interfaces for enterprise-grade applications
• Comprehensive documentation and implementation guides
• Regular updates to maintain compliance with evolving regulations
• Production-ready code with extensive testing and security features

Who Should Use This Toolkit?

• Nigerian startups building their first web applications
• Enterprise organizations with complex data processing requirements
• Software development agencies serving Nigerian clients
• International companies operating in Nigeria
• Government agencies handling citizen data
• Financial institutions requiring strict data protection measures

Understanding NDPR Compliance

The Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR)

The NDPR, enacted in 2019, is Nigeria's primary data protection law. It requires organizations to:

1. Obtain lawful consent for data processing
2. Implement data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, etc.)
3. Conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments for high-risk processing
4. Report data breaches to NITDA within 72 hours
5. Maintain comprehensive privacy policies
6. Appoint Data Protection Officers for certain organizations

Key Compliance Requirements

1. Consent Management

• Granular consent: Users must be able to consent to specific types of processing
• Withdrawable consent: Users can withdraw consent as easily as they gave it
• Documented consent: All consent decisions must be recorded with timestamps
• Age verification: Special protections for minors under 18

2. Data Subject Rights

• Right to access: Users can request copies of their personal data
• Right to rectification: Users can correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: Users can request deletion of their data
• Right to restrict processing: Users can limit how their data is used
• Right to data portability: Users can transfer their data to another service
• Right to object: Users can object to certain types of processing

3. Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)

Required for processing that is likely to result in high risk to individuals, including:

• Systematic monitoring of publicly accessible areas
• Processing of special categories of data on a large scale
• Automated decision-making with significant effects

4. Breach Notification

• 72-hour rule: Breaches must be reported to NITDA within 72 hours
• Data subject notification: Individuals must be notified if the breach is likely to result in high risk
• Documentation: All breaches must be documented regardless of notification requirements

Implementation Guides

Complete Consent Management Implementation

This guide shows how to implement a comprehensive consent management system that handles all NDPR requirements.

Step 1: Define Consent Categories

// Define your consent categories based on your data processing activities
const consentCategories = [
{
id: 'necessary',
label: 'Strictly Necessary',
description: 'These cookies are essential for the website to function properly.',
required: true,
purposes: ['authentication', 'security', 'session-management']
},
{
id: 'functional',
label: 'Functional',
description: 'These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization.',
required: false,
purposes: ['user-preferences', 'language-settings', 'accessibility']
},
{
id: 'analytics',
label: 'Analytics',
description: 'These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website.',
required: false,
purposes: ['performance-analysis', 'user-behavior', 'site-optimization']
},
{
id: 'marketing',
label: 'Marketing',
description: 'These cookies are used to deliver personalized advertisements.',
required: false,
purposes: ['advertising', 'remarketing', 'social-media-integration']
}
];

Step 2: Implement Consent Manager

function App() {
const [consentModalOpen, setConsentModalOpen] = useState(false);

const handleConsentSave = (consents) => {
// Log consent for audit purposes
logConsentDecision(consents);

// Initialize services based on consent
initializeServices(consents);

// Close modal
setConsentModalOpen(false);
};

const handleConsentWithdraw = (consentId) => {
// Log withdrawal for audit purposes
logConsentWithdrawal(consentId);

// Disable related services
disableService(consentId);
};

return (
<ConsentManager
options={consentCategories}
storageKey="app-consent"
autoLoad={true}
autoSave={true}
onConsentSave={handleConsentSave}
onConsentWithdraw={handleConsentWithdraw}
auditTrail={true}
>
<Router>
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<HomePage />} />
<Route path="/privacy" element={<PrivacyPage />} />
<Route path="/consent" element={<ConsentPage />} />
</Routes>
</Router>

{/* Consent Banner */}
<ConsentBanner
position="bottom"
theme="modern"
showPreferences={true}
onPreferencesClick={() => setConsentModalOpen(true)}
privacyPolicyUrl="/privacy"
/>

{/* Consent Preferences Modal */}
<ConsentPreferencesModal
isOpen={consentModalOpen}
onClose={() => setConsentModalOpen(false)}
categories={consentCategories}
/>
</ConsentManager>
);
}

Step 3: Create Consent Preferences Interface

function ConsentPreferencesModal({ isOpen, onClose, categories }) {
const { consents, updateConsent, getConsentHistory } = useConsent();
const [history, setHistory] = useState([]);

useEffect(() => {
if (isOpen) {
setHistory(getConsentHistory());
}
}, [isOpen]);

const handleToggle = (categoryId, granted) => {
updateConsent(categoryId, granted);
};

return (
<Modal isOpen={isOpen} onClose={onClose}>
<div className="consent-preferences">
<h2>Cookie Preferences</h2>

{categories.map(category => (
<div key={category.id} className="consent-category">
<div className="category-header">
<h3>{category.label}</h3>
<Toggle
checked={consents[category.id] || category.required}
onChange={(checked) => handleToggle(category.id, checked)}
disabled={category.required}
/>
</div>

<p className="category-description">{category.description}</p>

{/* Show purposes for transparency */}
<div className="purposes">
<h4>Purposes:</h4>
<ul>
{category.purposes.map(purpose => (
<li key={purpose}>{purpose}</li>
))}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
))}

{/* Consent History */}
<div className="consent-history">
<h3>Consent History</h3>
{history.map((entry, index) => (
<div key={index} className="history-entry">
<span>{entry.action}</span>
<span>{entry.category}</span>
<span>{new Date(entry.timestamp).toLocaleString()}</span>
</div>
))}
</div>

<div className="modal-actions">
<button onClick={onClose}>Save Preferences</button>
<button onClick={() => window.open('/privacy', '_blank')}>
View Privacy Policy
</button>
</div>
</div>
</Modal>
);
}

Complete Data Subject Rights Implementation

This guide shows how to implement a full data subject rights portal that handles all NDPR requirements.

Step 1: Create Request Form

function DSRPortal() {
const { submitRequest, getRequest } = useDSR();
const [trackingId, setTrackingId] = useState('');
const [requestStatus, setRequestStatus] = useState(null);

const requestTypes = [

severity: 'low'
}
];

const handleBreachSubmit = (formData) => {
const breach = submitBreach({
...formData,
id: generateUniqueId(),
discoveredAt: Date.now(),
reportedAt: Date.now(),
status: 'ongoing'
});

setBreachData(breach);
setCurrentStep(2);

// Automatically notify relevant stakeholders
notifyBreachTeam(breach);
};

const handleRiskAssessment = (assessmentData) => {
const assessment = performRiskAssessment({

// Calculate weighted score
const technicalImpact = (confidentialityImpact + integrityImpact + availabilityImpact) / 3;
const businessImpact = (harmLikelihood * harmSeverity) / 5;
const overallScore = (technicalImpact * 0.6) + (businessImpact * 0.4);

return {
score: overallScore,
level: overallScore >= 4 ? 'critical' : overallScore >= 3 ? 'high' : overallScore >= 2 ? 'medium' : 'low'

Best Practices

1. Consent Management Best Practices

Clear and Specific Consent

// Good: Specific and clear consent options
const goodConsentOptions = [
{
id: 'marketing-emails',
label: 'Marketing Emails',
description: 'Receive promotional emails about new products and offers',
purposes: ['direct-marketing', 'product-updates'],
dataProcessed: ['email-address', 'purchase-history'],
retention: '2 years or until withdrawal'
}
];

// Bad: Vague consent options
const badConsentOptions = [
{
id: 'marketing',
label: 'Marketing',
description: 'For marketing purposes' // Too vague
}
];

Consent Withdrawal

// Implement easy consent withdrawal
function ConsentWithdrawal() {
const { withdrawConsent, getConsentHistory } = useConsent();

const handleWithdraw = (consentId) => {
withdrawConsent(consentId);

// Immediately stop related processing
stopProcessing(consentId);

// Log withdrawal for audit
logConsentWithdrawal(consentId);

// Confirm to user
showConfirmation('Consent withdrawn successfully');
};

// Make withdrawal as easy as giving consent
return (
<div className="consent-withdrawal">
<h3>Manage Your Consent</h3>
{getConsentHistory().map(consent => (
<div key={consent.id} className="consent-item">
<span>{consent.label}</span>
<button onClick={() => handleWithdraw(consent.id)}>
Withdraw Consent
</button>
</div>
))}
</div>
);
}

2. Data Subject Rights Best Practices

Request Verification

function DSRRequestVerification() {
const [verificationStep, setVerificationStep] = useState(1);
const [identityVerified, setIdentityVerified] = useState(false);

const verifyIdentity = (verificationData) => {
// Implement robust identity verification
const verified = performIdentityCheck(verificationData);

if (verified) {
setIdentityVerified(true);
setVerificationStep(2);
} else {
// Request additional verification
requestAdditionalVerification();
}
};

const processRequest = (request) => {
if (!identityVerified) {
throw new Error('Identity not verified');
}

// Process the verified request
return processVerifiedRequest(request);
};

return (
<div className="request-verification">
{verificationStep === 1 && (
<IdentityVerificationForm onVerify={verifyIdentity} />
)}

{verificationStep === 2 && identityVerified && (
<DSRRequestForm onSubmit={processRequest} />
)}
</div>
);
}

Response Time Management

function DSRTimeline() {
const calculateResponseDeadline = (requestType, submissionDate) => {
const deadline = new Date(submissionDate);

// NDPR allows 30 days for most requests
deadline.setDate(deadline.getDate() + 30);

// Complex requests may require extension
if (requestType === 'portability' && isComplexRequest()) {
deadline.setDate(deadline.getDate() + 60); // Additional 60 days
}

return deadline;
};

const sendReminderNotifications = (request) => {
const deadline = calculateResponseDeadline(request.type, request.submittedAt);
const daysUntilDeadline = Math.ceil((deadline - Date.now()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

// Send reminders at key intervals
if (daysUntilDeadline === 7) {
sendNotification('1 week remaining to respond');
} else if (daysUntilDeadline === 3) {
sendNotification('3 days remaining to respond');
} else if (daysUntilDeadline === 1) {
sendNotification('URGENT: 1 day remaining to respond');
}
};

return (
<div className="dsr-timeline">
<h3>Response Timeline</h3>
{/* Timeline visualization */}
</div>
);
}

3. Privacy Policy Best Practices

Dynamic Content Updates

function DynamicPrivacyPolicy() {
const [policyVersion, setPolicyVersion] = useState('1.0');
const [lastUpdated, setLastUpdated] = useState(new Date());

const updatePolicy = (changes) => {
// Create new version
const newVersion = incrementVersion(policyVersion);

// Archive old version
archivePolicyVersion(policyVersion);

// Update policy
updatePolicyContent(changes);

// Update metadata
setPolicyVersion(newVersion);
setLastUpdated(new Date());

// Notify users of changes
notifyUsersOfPolicyChange(newVersion);
};

const trackPolicyAcceptance = (userId, version) => {
// Track which version users have accepted
logPolicyAcceptance(userId, version, Date.now());
};

return (
<PolicyGenerator
version={policyVersion}
lastUpdated={lastUpdated}
onUpdate={updatePolicy}
onAcceptance={trackPolicyAcceptance}
showVersionHistory={true}
/>
);
}

Multi-language Support

function MultiLanguagePolicy() {
const [language, setLanguage] = useState('en');

const policyTranslations = {
en: {
title: 'Privacy Policy',
introduction: 'This policy explains how we collect and use your data...'
},
yo: {
title: 'Ìlànà Ìkọ̀kọ̀',
introduction: 'Ìlànà yìí ṣe àlàyé bí a ṣe ń gba àti lo dátà rẹ...'
},
ig: {
title: 'Iwu nzuzo',
introduction: 'Iwu a na-akọwa otú anyị si na-anakọta ma jiri data gị...'
},
ha: {
title: 'Dokar Sirri',
introduction: 'Wannan doka ta bayyana yadda muke tattarawa da amfani da bayananku...'
}
};

return (
<div className="multilingual-policy">
<div className="language-selector">
<select value={language} onChange={(e) => setLanguage(e.target.value)}>
<option value="en">English</option>
<option value="yo">Yoruba</option>
<option value="ig">Igbo</option>
<option value="ha">Hausa</option>
</select>
</div>

<PolicyPreview
content={policyTranslations[language]}
language={language}
/>
</div>
);
}

4. Security Best Practices

Data Encryption

function SecureDataHandling() {
const encryptSensitiveData = (data) => {
// Use AES-256 encryption for sensitive data
return encrypt(data, process.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY);
};

const hashPersonalIdentifiers = (identifier) => {
// Hash personal identifiers for privacy
return hash(identifier, 'sha256');
};

const storeSecurely = (data) => {
const secureData = {
...data,
// Encrypt sensitive fields
email: encryptSensitiveData(data.email),
phone: encryptSensitiveData(data.phone),
// Hash identifiers
hashedId: hashPersonalIdentifiers(data.id)
};

return secureData;
};

return {
encryptSensitiveData,
hashPersonalIdentifiers,
storeSecurely
};
}

Access Controls

function AccessControlSystem() {
const [userRole, setUserRole] = useState('user');
const [permissions, setPermissions] = useState([]);

const rolePermissions = {
user: ['view-own-data', 'update-own-data'],
admin: ['view-all-data', 'update-all-data', 'delete-data'],
dpo: ['view-all-data', 'update-all-data', 'delete-data', 'export-data', 'manage-requests']
};

const hasPermission = (permission) => {
return rolePermissions[userRole].includes(permission);
};

const restrictedComponent = (WrappedComponent, requiredPermission) => {
return function RestrictedComponent(props) {
if (!hasPermission(requiredPermission)) {
return <div>Access Denied</div>;
}

return <WrappedComponent {...props} />;
};
};

// Usage
const AdminDashboard = restrictedComponent(DSRAdminDashboard, 'manage-requests');
const DataExport = restrictedComponent(DataExportTool, 'export-data');

return (
<div className="access-controlled-app">
<UserRoleProvider value={{ userRole, hasPermission }}>
<AdminDashboard />
<DataExport />
</UserRoleProvider>
</div>
);
}

Enterprise Features

1. Advanced Conditional Logic

The NDPR Toolkit supports complex conditional logic in privacy policies and consent forms:

function ConditionalPolicyGeneration() {
const [organizationData, setOrganizationData] = useState({
type: 'ecommerce',
hasMinors: false,
processesPayments: true,
usesAnalytics: true
});

const conditionalSections = [
{
id: 'children-privacy',
title: 'Children\'s Privacy',
condition: (data) => data.hasMinors,
content: 'We take special care to protect children\'s data...'
},
{
id: 'payment-processing',
title: 'Payment Information',
condition: (data) => data.processesPayments,
content: 'We process payment information to complete transactions...'
},
{
id: 'analytics-tracking',
title: 'Analytics and Tracking',
condition: (data) => data.usesAnalytics,
content: 'We use analytics to improve our services...'
}
];

const generateConditionalPolicy = () => {
const applicableSections = conditionalSections.filter(section =>
section.condition(organizationData)
);

return {
sections: applicableSections,
metadata: {
generatedAt: new Date(),
conditions: organizationData
}
};
};

return (
<PolicyGenerator
conditionalSections={conditionalSections}
organizationData={organizationData}
onDataChange={setOrganizationData}
generatePolicy={generateConditionalPolicy}
/>
);
}

2. Professional Document Formatting

function ProfessionalDocumentExporter() {
const exportToPDF = (policy) => {
const pdfOptions = {
format: 'A4',
margin: {
top: '1in',
right: '1in',
bottom: '1in',
left: '1in'
},
header: {
height: '0.5in',
contents: `<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 12px;">
${policy.organizationName} - Privacy Policy
</div>`
},
footer: {
height: '0.5in',
contents: `<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 10px;">
Page {{page}} of {{pages}} - Last Updated: ${policy.lastUpdated}
</div>`
}
};

return generatePDF(policy.content, pdfOptions);
};

const exportToWord = (policy) => {
const wordOptions = {
styles: {
heading1: { fontSize: 18, bold: true, color: '#2c3e50' },
heading2: { fontSize: 16, bold: true, color: '#34495e' },
paragraph: { fontSize: 12, lineHeight: 1.5 }
},
headers: {
default: {
options: {
children: [
new Paragraph({
text: `${policy.organizationName} - Privacy Policy`,
alignment: AlignmentType.CENTER
})
]
}
}
}
};

return generateWord(policy.content, wordOptions);
};

return (
<PolicyExporter
formats={['pdf', 'word', 'html']}
exportToPDF={exportToPDF}
exportToWord={exportToWord}
customStyling={true}
/>
);
}

3. Audit and Compliance Reporting

function ComplianceReporting() {
const [reportType, setReportType] = useState('consent-audit');
const [dateRange, setDateRange] = useState({
start: new Date(Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), // 30 days ago
end: new Date()
});

const generateConsentAuditReport = () => {
const consentHistory = getConsentHistory(dateRange);

return {
reportType: 'Consent Audit Report',
period: dateRange,
summary: {
totalConsents: consentHistory.length,
consentGiven: consentHistory.filter(c => c.action === 'granted').length,
consentWithdrawn: consentHistory.filter(c => c.action === 'withdrawn').length,
consentModified: consentHistory.filter(c => c.action === 'modified').length
},
details: consentHistory,
complianceStatus: assessConsentCompliance(consentHistory)
};
};

const generateDSRReport = () => {
const dsrRequests = getDSRRequests(dateRange);

return {
reportType: 'Data Subject Rights Report',
period: dateRange,
summary: {
totalRequests: dsrRequests.length,
completed: dsrRequests.filter(r => r.status === 'completed').length,
pending: dsrRequests.filter(r => r.status === 'pending').length,
averageResponseTime: calculateAverageResponseTime(dsrRequests)
},
requestBreakdown: {
access: dsrRequests.filter(r => r.type === 'access').length,
erasure: dsrRequests.filter(r => r.type === 'erasure').length,
rectification: dsrRequests.filter(r => r.type === 'rectification').length
},
complianceMetrics: assessDSRCompliance(dsrRequests)
};
};

const generateBreachReport = () => {
const breaches = getBreaches(dateRange);

return {
reportType: 'Data Breach Report',
period: dateRange,
summary: {
totalBreaches: breaches.length,
highRiskBreaches: breaches.filter(b => b.riskLevel === 'high').length,
notifiedToNITDA: breaches.filter(b => b.nitdaNotified).length,
averageResponseTime: calculateAverageBreachResponseTime(breaches)
},
breachCategories: categorizeBreaches(breaches),
complianceStatus: assessBreachCompliance(breaches)
};
};

const generateReport = () => {
switch (reportType) {
case 'consent-audit':
return generateConsentAuditReport();
case 'dsr-report':
return generateDSRReport();
case 'breach-report':
return generateBreachReport();
default:
return null;
}
};

return (
<div className="compliance-reporting">
<div className="report-controls">
<select value={reportType} onChange={(e) => setReportType(e.target.value)}>
<option value="consent-audit">Consent Audit Report</option>
<option value="dsr-report">Data Subject Rights Report</option>
<option value="breach-report">Data Breach Report</option>
</select>

<DateRangePicker
start={dateRange.start}
end={dateRange.end}
onChange={setDateRange}
/>

<button onClick={generateReport}>Generate Report</button>
</div>

<ComplianceReportViewer report={generateReport()} />
</div>
);
}

Security and Compliance

Data Protection by Design

The NDPR Toolkit implements data protection by design and by default:

function DataProtectionByDesign() {
// Minimize data collection
const minimizeDataCollection = (formData) => {
const essentialFields = ['name', 'email'];
const filteredData = Object.keys(formData)
.filter(key => essentialFields.includes(key))
.reduce((obj, key) => {
obj[key] = formData[key];
return obj;
}, {});

return filteredData;
};

// Implement data retention policies
const enforceRetentionPolicy = (data, retentionPeriod) => {
const expirationDate = new Date(data.createdAt + retentionPeriod);

if (Date.now() > expirationDate) {
// Automatically delete expired data
deleteExpiredData(data.id);
logDataDeletion(data.id, 'retention-policy');
}
};

// Pseudonymization
const pseudonymizeData = (data) => {
const pseudonymizedData = {
...data,
id: generatePseudonym(data.id),
email: hashEmail(data.email),
name: null // Remove direct identifiers
};

// Store mapping separately with restricted access
storePseudonymMapping(data.id, pseudonymizedData.id);

return pseudonymizedData;
};

return {
minimizeDataCollection,
enforceRetentionPolicy,
pseudonymizeData
};
}

Security Monitoring

function SecurityMonitoring() {
const [securityEvents, setSecurityEvents] = useState([]);
const [alertLevel, setAlertLevel] = useState('normal');

const detectAnomalousActivity = (event) => {
const anomalyScore = calculateAnomalyScore(event);

if (anomalyScore > 0.8) {
triggerSecurityAlert({
level: 'high',
event,
timestamp: Date.now(),
description: 'Potential security breach detected'
});
}
};

const monitorDataAccess = (userId, dataType, action) => {
const accessEvent = {
userId,
dataType,
action,
timestamp: Date.now(),
ipAddress: getClientIP(),
userAgent: getUserAgent()
};

// Log all data access
logDataAccess(accessEvent);

// Check for suspicious patterns
detectAnomalousActivity(accessEvent);

// Enforce access controls
if (!hasPermission(userId, dataType, action)) {
throw new SecurityError('Access denied');
}
};

const generateSecurityReport = () => {
return {
period: 'Last 30 days',
totalEvents: securityEvents.length,
suspiciousActivities: securityEvents.filter(e => e.anomalyScore > 0.5),
accessPatterns: analyzeAccessPatterns(securityEvents),
recommendations: generateSecurityRecommendations(securityEvents)
};
};

return (
<SecurityMonitoringDashboard
events={securityEvents}
alertLevel={alertLevel}
onGenerateReport={generateSecurityReport}
/>
);
}

Performance and Optimization

Lazy Loading and Code Splitting

import { lazy, Suspense } from 'react';

// Lazy load components to reduce bundle size
const ConsentBanner = lazy(() => import('./components/ConsentBanner'));
const DSRRequestForm = lazy(() => import('./components/DSRRequestForm'));
const PolicyGenerator = lazy(() => import('./components/PolicyGenerator'));

function OptimizedApp() {
return (
<div className="app">
<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading consent banner...</div>}>
<ConsentBanner />
</Suspense>

<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading DSR form...</div>}>
<DSRRequestForm />
</Suspense>

<Suspense fallback={<div>Loading policy generator...</div>}>
<PolicyGenerator />
</Suspense>
</div>
);
}

Caching and Memoization

import { useMemo, useCallback } from 'react';

function OptimizedConsentManager() {
const { consents, updateConsent } = useConsent();

// Memoize expensive calculations
const consentAnalytics = useMemo(() => {
return calculateConsentAnalytics(consents);
}, [consents]);

// Memoize callback functions
const handleConsentToggle = useCallback((consentId, granted) => {
updateConsent(consentId, granted);
}, [updateConsent]);

// Cache policy generation
const cachedPolicyGeneration = useMemo(() => {
return generatePolicy(consents);
}, [consents]);

return (
<ConsentManager
consents={consents}
onConsentToggle={handleConsentToggle}
analytics={consentAnalytics}
generatedPolicy={cachedPolicyGeneration}
/>
);
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

1. React 19 Compatibility Issues

Problem: Peer dependency warnings when using React 19

Solution:

# Install with legacy peer deps
npm install @tantainnovative/ndpr-toolkit --legacy-peer-deps

# Or add to .npmrc
echo "legacy-peer-deps=true" > .npmrc

2. TypeScript Errors

Problem: TypeScript compilation errors with component props

Solution:

// Ensure proper type imports
import type {
ConsentOption,
DSRRequest,
BreachReport
} from '@tantainnovative/ndpr-toolkit';

// Use proper type definitions
const consentOptions: ConsentOption[] = [
{
id: 'analytics',
label: 'Analytics',
description: 'Analytics tracking',
required: false
}
];

3. Storage Issues

Problem: Consent data not persisting across sessions

Solution:

// Check storage configuration
<ConsentManager
options={consentOptions}
storageKey="unique-app-consent-key"
storageType="localStorage" // or 'sessionStorage' or 'cookie'
autoSave={true}
autoLoad={true}
/>

4. Performance Issues

Problem: Large bundle size affecting page load times

Solution:

// Use tree shaking with specific imports
import { ConsentBanner } from '@tantainnovative/ndpr-toolkit/consent';
import { DSRRequestForm } from '@tantainnovative/ndpr-toolkit/dsr';

// Instead of importing everything
// import { ConsentBanner, DSRRequestForm } from '@tantainnovative/ndpr-toolkit';

Debugging Tools

function NDPRDebugger() {
const [debugMode, setDebugMode] = useState(false);
const [logs, setLogs] = useState([]);

const logEvent = (event) => {
if (debugMode) {
console.log('NDPR Event:', event);
setLogs(prev => [...prev, { ...event, timestamp: Date.now() }]);
}
};

return (
<div className="ndpr-debugger">
<button onClick={() => setDebugMode(!debugMode)}>
{debugMode ? 'Disable' : 'Enable'} Debug Mode
</button>

{debugMode && (
<div className="debug-panel">
<h3>NDPR Toolkit Debug Logs</h3>
{logs.map((log, index) => (
<div key={index} className="debug-entry">
<span>{new Date(log.timestamp).toLocaleTimeString()}</span>
<span>{log.type}</span>
<span>{JSON.stringify(log.data)}</span>
</div>
))}
</div>
)}
</div>
);
}
