Privacy policy
The page that says what you do with people’s details.
What is Privacy policy?
A privacy policy is the page on a website that tells visitors what personal data is collected, why, who it is shared with, how long it is kept and what rights they have. UK GDPR requires it wherever data is collected, which includes a contact form or an analytics tag.
What it means for a small service business
The common versions are missing, copied from an American template, or written for a business the owner no longer runs. A good one is short, specific and true. The legal check looks for it; the free review reads it.
Does your business need to do anything about Privacy policy?
Yes, one that describes your actual forms, tools and providers. Sydex writes one into every build.
