Privacy Policies GDPR for Course Creators (Legal Road Map® Podcast S4E83)

If you're running an online business, it's highly likely that you're collecting some form of personal information from your website visitors. But do your visitors know what happens to their data once they've given it to you?  

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • When you must have a privacy policy on your website
  • What your privacy policy needs to include
  • Extra steps you need to take if you're collecting information from children under 13
  • Where your privacy policy must be present on your site post-GDPR
  • What GDPR penalties are being handed out, almost one year after the new rules went into effect

Key takeaway: Whether your business must comply with GDPR or not (odds are it does!), the trend is that privacy regulations are becoming more stringent across the board. Taking simple steps to comply now can prevent you from having to implement an expensive fix down the road.
