The GDPR & How It Affects Your Business

The GDPR is the law that regulates how personal data (everything that can help identify a person) of individuals in the EU can be collected, used and processed. It took effect on May 25, 2018 and affects everyone in the EU.

 

According to the GDPR, websites need to protect site visitors’ privacy. This means website owners need to:

 

1.    Get consent to collect and store data

2.    Explain how collected data will be used

3.    Be able to delete all data collected from site visitors, upon request

How The Walker Group Can Help You Comply & Bring Value to Your Business

By showing your clients you meet these new regulations, you provide a safer, trust-building user experience to your potential customers.

We provide:

 

A Standard Privacy Policy to Boost Site Transparency

The GDPR requires all websites to inform users about the type of data the site collects and what this data is used for. We provide a standard privacy policy that can be customized with your website’s specific details.

Customized Cookie Notification

A new cookie notification lets visitors know your site collects information in the form of cookies. We also recommend linking a site’s cookie notification to its privacy policy.

Free SSL Certificate (charges may apply if using a different hosting provider)

We provide a free SSL certificate for HTTPS encryption. This ensures the connection to your website is secure and cannot be intercepted.

Personal Data Deletion

The GDPR requires that if a site visitor requests to have their personal data deleted, the website owner must do so without delay. We can enable you to manage and delete all of a visitor’s personal data that was submitted through website contact forms (charges may apply if using a different hosting provider).

·      Activate a cookie notification

·      Set up your SSL Certificate
