Independent practice · GDPR & EU AI Act · EU / EEA · 2026

Privacy & AI compliance, built to be implemented.

GDPR, the EU AI Act, and Responsible AI obligations, turned into something your team can actually act on. Documented, defensible, and built to be used rather than filed away.

No charge. No pitch. Just a conversation.

Founded by Shalini Jhunjhunwala

What I do.

An independent practice working alongside your legal, product, and engineering teams on the operational detail of compliance. Not a law firm, and not a replacement for your counsel.

Three services.

Each scoped, fixed, and built around what you actually receive at the end. No mystery boxes.

01

GDPR & DPIA Consulting

End-to-end privacy assessments under GDPR Article 35 that produce documentation a supervisory authority would expect. Anchored in EDPB Guidelines, CNIL methodology, and ISO/IEC 29134.

Retainer

Also available: AI vendor due diligence, DPA and technology contract review, IP strategy, and ongoing privacy programme advisory on retainer. Where useful, I also set up and configure an open-source governance, risk, and compliance platform for your team, so the work lives in a system you keep, not just a report you file.

About Aequita.

Aequita Advisory is led by Shalini Jhunjhunwala, an independent consultant with a decade of legal practice across Europe, Asia, and the United States. The practice focuses on the operational work of privacy and AI compliance: assessments, governance, and the technology contracts that underpin them.

“Compliance should be defensible, practical, and genuinely usable by the teams that have to live with it.”

The name Aequita is Latin for fairness and equity, the principle at the centre of European data protection and AI regulation.
