GDPR, UAVG and accessibility
This is general information, not legal advice. Your legal adviser has the final word.
GDPR
The GDPR applies to every app that processes personal data of people in the EU. We plan consent, data minimisation and deletion into the app from the first sprint.
Official source: GDPR (Official Journal of the EU) ↗Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (UAVG)
The UAVG adds Dutch rules to the GDPR. Supervision in the Netherlands sits with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. We document data flows so your adviser can check them.
Official source: UAVG (wetten.overheid.nl) ↗European Accessibility Act
The EU directive sets accessibility requirements for many consumer services, such as e-commerce and banking; EU countries apply it through national law from 28 June 2025. We design and test for accessibility from the start.

Frequently asked questions
App development in Rotterdam: before you book a call.
Do you have an office in Rotterdam?
No. We serve Rotterdam from our Amsterdam office at Basisweg 10, 1043 AP Amsterdam, about 60 km away. Meet us in person at our Amsterdam office or at any of our 10 offices, or by video. Workshops, design reviews and weekly check-ins run in English.
How much does app development cost in Rotterdam?
Pricing is custom. Cost depends on platforms, screens and features, integrations, design depth, compliance needs and your timeline. After a short brief and a free 30-minute call, you get a written estimate.
How long does it take to build an app?
Typically: discovery 1 to 3 weeks, design 2 to 5 weeks, build 8 to 16 weeks for a first version, testing and store release 1 to 3 weeks. These are ranges, not guarantees.
Should we build a native app or use Flutter or React Native?
Native (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) suits top performance and deep device features. Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) shares one codebase and usually reaches both stores faster. We recommend one in discovery.
Do you build logistics and port apps for companies in Rotterdam?
Yes. We build tracking, driver, terminal and warehouse apps that work with weak connections, sync when the network returns and connect to your existing systems through their APIs.
How do you handle the GDPR and the Dutch UAVG?
We plan consent, clear notices, data minimisation and deletion into the app from the first sprint, and document data flows for your adviser. In the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens supervises data protection. Your legal adviser has the final word.
Can the app work in Dutch and English?
Yes. We set up the app for several languages from the start, so adding a language later is a content task, not a rebuild. Dutch and English are among our eight working languages.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. Meet us in person at our Amsterdam office or at any of our 10 offices, or by video. Projects for Rotterdam are led from our Amsterdam office, about 60 km away.
Who works on our project, and how do we communicate?
Projects are led by UnFoldMart from our international offices, with a small dedicated team; projects for Rotterdam are led from our Amsterdam office. Calls are by video, in English, with a demo after each sprint.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes. We start with a review of the code, the store listings and the backend, then fix, upgrade or rebuild in steps, so your app stays available.
