Privacy Policies are Required by Law

Privacy laws vary around the globe, and your website or app must abide by the regulations based on the location of your business, your targeted audience, and where you conduct business.

As data collection and processing becomes more ubiquitous across the internet, data privacy laws in the US and around the world set strict requirements for privacy policies.

The following laws impact if and when you legally need a privacy policy page for your website or app:

The General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR)

The GDPR regulates privacy policy requirements for entities targeting users in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), regardless of the company’s physical location.

Your business must comply with the GDPR if it targets EU consumers and meets one of the following thresholds:

  • It offers goods or services
  • It monitors online behavior

Chapter 3, Articles 13 and 14 of the law clarify that users have the right to be fully informed about the collection and use of their personal data.
