Privacy Policy Requirements & Why They Matter

I’ll start this article by emphasising that I’m not an attorney and this isn’t legal advice. Having attended a presentation in regards to privacy laws, I just want my clients to be informed and protected. You are welcome/encouraged to share this with your attorney for their thoughts.

You might be thinking, “I’m too small for this to matter,” but virtually all modern websites collect personal data – whether through contact forms, analytics scripts, security tools, video or map embeds, or newsletter signup forms.

Personal data is regulated by privacy laws, requiring website owners to have proper policies and consent mechanisms in place.

There is a growing number of web developers reporting that they have small business clients (even 1-person website owners and non-profits) being targeted for website non-compliance, where attorneys are asking for $30k+ in damages.

Policies (and consent solutions) can help website owners avoid these types of fines and lawsuits.

That’s where Termageddon comes in:

  • Termageddon is a comprehensive, affordable policy generator. Their tool covers more laws and regulations than any other solution available online.
  • You get a Privacy Policy, Terms, Cookie Policy, Cookie Consent, and Disclaimer. All to help protect you and your website.
  • Most important: after setup is complete, Termageddon notifies you when laws change, when new questions are available, and they can even auto-update your website policies with new disclosures as existing laws change and new ones go into effect.

So basically, for a reasonable annual price, you now have a strategy in place to keep your policies up to date over time. I use Termageddon on my own site and love the peace of mind.
