If you sell products or services online, your eCommerce store must include an up-to-date, easy to find and easily accessible Privacy Policy.
The privacy policy is a document in which the data owner (the person or entity that runs a website/app) outlines the methods and purposes of its data processing to users, i.e. individuals who visit or use the website/app.
If your website/app collects personal data, you must inform users of this fact by way of a privacy policy: it’s required by law and by third-party services you may use.
All that is required to trigger this obligation is the presence of a simple contact form, Google Analytics, a cookie or even a social widget: if you’re processing any kind of personal data, you definitely need one.
In order to be compliant, your policy must at the very least:
Of course you also have to provide the identity of the data controller (in practice who establishes “why” and “how” the personal data collected must be processed, usually the site/app owner), so name/company, full address and contact email.
