Privacy Policy
The privacy policy is intended for use on a website which collects basic, non-sensitive personal data in an online application form (such as name, contact and credit card details) for the purpose of supplying goods or services to users of the site, or for contacting users with direct marketing information. If your site is intended to be used for more complicated matters then please seek advice on our Stay Legal package.
The collection and use of personal data by e-commerce businesses in the UK must comply with UK data protection law. These laws are primarily contained in the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (the Regulations).
The privacy policy should be worded in a way which implies the data subject's consent to the processing of the data and that the consent of the data subject must be given expressly, by means of an "opt-in".
A privacy policy should outline what information is collected (IP addresses and cookies), where this information is stored and how the information may be used by your organisation.
Both of the Stay Legal products include a Privacy Policy which will protect you and your users from any of the potential internet data protection law issues outlined above.
