Get your Website Ready for GDPR
Sunny Matharu
Online privacy is important to all of us. It’s particularly relevant today, with the implementation of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This new privacy law, applicable in the EU and to any business that has customers there, has a direct and immediate effect on how online businesses collect and store data.
Compliance with the GDPR is important from a legal perspective, and it’s also good for business. It shows your clients that you’re on top of relevant issues and care about good business practices. See our explainer for everything you need to know about GDPR compliance.
Proventus Digital provides you with the tools you need to make your websites GDPR compliant.
Here’s what you’ll find on the platform:
Privacy policy – boost transparency for every site
The GDPR requires all websites to inform users about the type of data the site collects and what it is used for via a privacy policy. Proventus Digital provides you with a privacy page template that you can add to every site. All you need to do is activate the policy and then customise it with details specific to the site.
Cookie notification – easy to customise and activate
The cookie notification lets visitors know the site they are visiting collects information in the form of cookies. We recommend linking a site’s cookie notification to its privacy policy.
SSL certification, for safer sites
Proventus continues to provide free SSL certification (HTTPS) for every website. This one-click certification ensures that the connection to the site is secure and cannot be intercepted.
Add an opt-in option to contact forms
According to the GDPR, website owners need to inform site visitors when personal information is collected and stored. To comply with this requirement, add a new opt-in field option to any contact form on your site.
“The right to be forgotten”
Users need to have the option to request the deletion of all personal data that’s been collected and stored about them (also known as “the right to be forgotten”).
To support this, Proventus Digital has created a dedicated form response page where you can manage and delete all information that was submitted via site Contact Forms. This page can be reached via the site dashboard or through a site’s content library.
Review the following checklist to make sure your sites are adapted to GDPR
