Key GDPR Requirements for Privacy Policies
GDPR Privacy Policy FAQ
Do I need a GDPR privacy policy?
If you collect data from EU residents (regardless of where your business is located), you must comply with GDPR. This includes having a compliant privacy policy.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
GDPR fines can reach up to 20 million euros or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Even small businesses can face significant fines.
Do I need a Data Protection Officer (DPO)?
You need a DPO if you process sensitive data on a large scale or if your core activities involve systematic monitoring of individuals. Most small businesses do not need one.
What about cookie consent?
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies. You need a cookie banner that allows users to accept or reject cookies before they are set.
