About this document

A privacy policy is a public-facing notice that tells individuals how an organisation collects, uses, shares, and protects their personal data. It explains people’s rights and how to exercise them. A clear and accurate privacy policy supports transparency and helps meet legal disclosure obligations.

Who needs one: Any business or website that collects personal data from customers, users, or visitors.

What a strong privacy policy covers

  • Identity and contact details of the data controller
  • Categories of personal data collected and their sources
  • Purposes of processing and the lawful bases relied on
  • Who data is shared with and any international transfers
  • Retention periods and data security overview
  • Individual rights and how to make a complaint
