If you operate a website, the chances are you will process “personal data”. The term is a broad one: it includes, for example address details and information picked up automatically by cookies activated when users browse your website.
It also includes contact details collected through the website. Under the Data Protection Act 1998 and related legislation, it is important that businesses display a privacy notice on their website informing users what personal information is collected and how it is used.
We frequently draft privacy policies of varying complexity for businesses operating in almost any field – from the very straightforward, to the far more detailed policies necessary in industries such as consumer finance. Regularly, we draft these documents as part of a suite of documents, including terms and conditions of website use and terms and conditions for online sales.
