As a matter of fact, changes are often required and can be done anytime.
For example, anytime you use a new third party service or anytime you change any other data collection practices you should update your privacy policy to reflect the actual practices on your site. Or again, you may have to update the (company) name and address of the data controller.
You can access your iubenda dashboard and make changes to your privacy policy at any time:
- If you have a Legacy Pro or Ultra subscription, you can make any changes without additional costs for the duration of your subscription.
- If you have a Starter, Essentials, Advanced, or Ultimate plan, you can edit freely within the limits of your plan. If you reach a limit, you’ll be prompted to upgrade.
- If you’re on the free plan, some features and services are restricted. You can upgrade anytime to unlock the full set of options.
Moreover, there’s no need to repeat the integration process as the changes will be applied to your website remotely.
Why is everyone updating their privacy policy (and do I need to do the same)?
You may have seen an increase in notices about privacy policy updates, particularly if you’re based in California, United States. This is likely due to required changes in Californian consumer rights under the CPRA (CCPA amendment). If you’re a business that targets or could potentially have Californian users you need to:
- update your privacy policy to include the required disclosures; and
- inform your users about the update to your privacy policy.
How to change the URL of the site or the name of the app
It can become necessary to edit the title of an iubenda generated document, either because you’ve changed your site’s URL, renamed your app or because you need to switch licenses from one Privacy Policy to another.
