Compliance with Privacy and Data Protection Laws

Just because there’s a template privacy policy on your website, that does not mean your website complies with the relevant privacy laws in various jurisdictions. As privacy laws are continuously evolving, how can you be sure that your website is compliant, and not risking privacy lawsuits?

Many website owners falsely believe that the existence of a privacy policy copied from some template is sufficient to cover themselves from legal liability. Sadly, not only is this untrue, it’s all too common, amidst increasing measures to protect users’ privacy and how their data is collected and stored.

As a business owner, you’re understandably focused on running your business and have little time to monitor whether you are complying or running afoul of the various privacy laws that may impact you and your business. Suddenly, you’re faced with a lawsuit for failing to comply, and what seemed like a low priority issue for your business is now a legal and financial burden, not to mention the potential damages to your brand’s reputation and loss of trust with consumers.

All of this can be avoided without expensive ongoing legal fees. We have partnered with compliance solutions providers with international legal expertise to help you incorporate policies and measures to track user consent for data collection and retention.

Don’t fall into the trap of believing that your business is free from legal risk because you have a privacy policy in place. Privacy laws and how they apply to you and your business are constantly evolving, and so too should your measures to ensure your website is compliant.
