Don’t make this one common mistake ❌

Writing a privacy policy is not easy:

  1. It requires legal knowledge, of course, and technical skills for installing it on your site. Remember that the document should always be visible, accessible, and easy to understand.
  2. On top of that, the amount of information required can seem quite overwhelming. See here to get an overall idea.
  3. Finally, it has to be up-to-date and complete! And that’s a common mistake people make.

🔍 Did you know you must disclose all the technologies that run on your site and collect personal data? Remember that even a cookie is considered personal data!
