When you build a website you not only have to make sure that all the information on it is factual or that you state if not, but you also need to ensure that it complies to the latest rules and regulations. One big regulation that must be adhered to it GDPR. GDPR came in to action in May 2018 and was bought in to help protect the data of individuals. It relates to the collecting, storing and using of personal data and can be a bit of a minefield. It is vital that you not only get permission off your customers to obtain and store their data but also tell them what you are going to do with it, how it is stored and how they can remove consent. You should also ensure you get permission to pass or sell their details on to third parties. Businesses that do not comply to GDPR could risk a hefty fine, court cases or worse.
Promoting finance is another area that you need to take great care in. You have to ensure that you are clear and concise when mentioning any financial gain or investment. There are very tight regulations around this subject matter so you need to ensure that you find out exactly what you can and can’t do.
