If you\\u2019re running an online business, it\\u2019s highly likely that you\\u2019re collecting some form of personal information from your website visitors. But do your visitors know what happens to their data once they\\u2019ve given it to you?

In this episode, you\\u2019ll learn:

  • When you must have a privacy policy on your website
  • What your privacy policy needs to include
  • Extra steps you need to take if you\\u2019re collecting information from children under 13
  • Where your privacy policy must be present on your site post-GDPR
  • What GDPR penalties are being handed out, almost one year after the new rules went into effect

Key takeaway: Whether your business must comply with GDPR or not (odds are it does!), the trend is that privacy regulations are becoming more stringent across the board. Taking simple steps to comply now can prevent you from having to implement an expensive fix down the road.
