Write and publish a GDPR-compliant privacy policy

A GDPR-compliant privacy policy accurately describes what personal data you collect, why, how long you keep it, and what rights users have over it, genuinely reflecting your actual data practices rather than generic boilerplate language.

GDPR carries real financial penalties for non-compliance, and a policy that does not accurately reflect your actual practices offers little genuine protection despite existing.

How to do it

1. 1
   Document your actual data practices first

   What you collect, how you use it, who you share it with, retention periods, the policy needs to reflect reality.
2. 2
   Cover the required GDPR elements specifically

   Legal basis for processing, user rights (access, deletion, portability), data protection officer contact if applicable.
3. 3
   Consider attorney review for genuine compliance confidence

   Especially if you process meaningful volumes of EU user data.
4. 4
   Keep it current as practices change

   A static policy that does not reflect an evolving business is a growing compliance gap.
