We just wanted to let you know that you’re in safe hands when it comes to the upcoming changes in GDPR.
We care about your private data and don’t share it with any third parties, so you can rest assured knowing you’re in safe hands.
On top of this, we’ll be updating our privacy policy and we will share it with you when it’s ready.
When it comes to your customers, we will be implementing some minor changes to your website to help you ensure you’re managing their data properly.
Here are the changes we’ll be putting in place over the coming weeks with additional measures taking place in the future:
Update your online policies
We’ll be updating Privacy & Cookie Policies in the next few days that will take into account the upcoming changes in GDPR. Once these are complete we will add them to your website in place of your current versions. If your website uses your own bespoke policies then you’re able to use our new versions if you wish, or send us your new versions and we can update them for you.
Default check-box added to contact forms
We’ll also be adding check-boxes to all of the contact forms on your site asking your customers to accept your privacy policy before sending an enquiry. There will also be an optional second box asking customers to opt-in to any further marketing materials you may wish to send them, however, you can decide whether or not you need this.
When customers have accepted either of the above options, you will be notified via email, and will be able to see which options they’ve ticked in the enquiries section of your website.
Optional cookie and privacy policy pop-up
We’ll also offer you the chance to have a pop-up on your website asking your customers to accept both of these policies as soon as they land on your site. Again, this is optional, so you don’t need to have this on your site, but we thought we’d offer you the chance.
If you need assistance with how you can remain compliant with the new changes in GDPR then we would recommend seeking legal advice. This can really help you ensure that you’re managing your customers’ data in a compliant manner.
