GDPR Legislation for Your Website!
By · 27 December 2018
Below you’ll find our GDPR checklist, compiled with the most important points for your website. We don’t suspect a witch hunt is about to be organized against small businesses, but… prevention is always better than cure. If you’d like, we’ll look into what adjustments are needed to make sure your website complies with GDPR legislation.
Make sure you have a secure HTTPS connection
Under GDPR legislation, your website is required to use an SSL certificate. An SSL certificate ensures optimal security between your website and the website visitor. If your website’s URL doesn’t start with “https://”, your website isn’t yet compliant with GDPR legislation.
Provide a clear privacy statement
An important part of GDPR legislation concerns the collection of personal data. Through a privacy statement, you need to make clear to your website’s visitors what happens to their personal data.
State your cookie policy
It’s mandatory to disclose that your website uses cookies. Under the new GDPR legislation, you’re required to disclose which types of cookies are used.
Keep your website secure and technically up to date
GDPR legislation requires you to always keep your website secure and technically up to date. That’s how the personal data on your website stays protected.
Protect the personal data of customers and website visitors
GDPR legislation requires you to document who has access to the personal data on your website.
Be transparent when using forms
GDPR legislation calls for transparency in how you use forms on your website. A form usually contains several fields to collect personal data. Under the new legislation, you may only ask for data you actually need. In addition, you must obtain consent for storing and processing the personal data submitted.
Anonymize your website visitors’ data for third parties
The new GDPR legislation requires you to be careful about who you share personal data with. For example, it’s no longer permitted to process your website visitors’ IP addresses with Google Analytics.
