The ICO (Information Commissioners Office) have launched a new, quick and easy-to-use privacy notice generator to
help Small Businesses (SMEs) align with current compliance regulations create a bespoke privacy notice for their organisation.
In just a few simple steps, the new privacy notice generator can create tailored privacy notices relevant to small organisations in all sectors of the economy. There are sections of the tool specific to:
• finance, insurance and legal sectors;
• education and childcare;
• health and social care; and
• charity and voluntary sectors.
There are also sections designed for other small organisations in sectors such as retail and manufacturing.
Under data protection law, every organisation that holds people’s information needs to explain why they hold it and what they do with it. This is so their customers, suppliers, staff and volunteers know what will happen to their information.
Organisations can provide this information through a privacy notice, which is displayed on their website or included in other communications, to ensure they’re compliant.
Here’s what one small business owner said after they’d used our privacy notice generator tool:
“I absolutely love the privacy notice generator. It’s incredibly user-friendly and intuitive. With just a few details and a handful of questions, it created a privacy document for my website, where I showcase and sell my original artwork.”
“The fact that this service is free is mind-blowing. It generated the privacy policy in no time, and I was able to seamlessly integrate it into my website. ”
“Legal jargon can be tricky to navigate, but it seems like this generator covers all the necessary elements ”
“I would highly recommend the privacy notice generator to anyone in a similar position, whether they are building their own website or selling their own products online.”
