So if website GDPR compliance is not clear cut what does that mean for your business? Well strictly speaking it means you will be required to choose the level of GDPR compliance you are comfortable with. We always build your website so that is conforms to the UK GDPR policy but you may need us to tweak it to your own ends.
Maybe you feel collecting some anonymous non-invasive data that is inhibited by GDPR compliance is worth stepping outside of the GDPR barrier for. Many companies do this. Just check how many sites only give you the option to say ‘I agree’ to collecting data and how few offer the second option of ‘I don’t agree’. Many offer an option of going in to change the data they can collect but they know that very few will be bothered.
Being GDPR compliant for your company and for your website can at first sight seem a little confusing. Not least, because some of it can prove to be quite vague. However giving people the option of how you collect and store their details is fundamentally a good thing.
The problem arises in the application of GDPR compliance. So many websites only pretend to give their visitors the choice and we are talking some major companies here. GDPR compliance requires the option for a visitor to your site to easily say ‘NO’ to cookies. Many sites only offer the option to say yes or leave – although not strictly compliant this is a choice you may need to make.
This is all about giving your website visitors the choice of the anonymous data you collect about their visit to your site.
There are rules about who you can and can't email your latest offer to. You might think your list meets GDPR compliance but it may well not.
The heart of GDPR compliance is all about how and where you store personal information on those people who have given their details.
Not all countries have the same GDPR requirements. So making sure you know where your website is being viewed may be important.
It is our mission to make sure that every website we work on is UK GDPR compliant when we hand it over to you. However it is your website and we will follow your instruction should you need changes that may effect your websites GDPR compliance.
