Don’t have a privacy policy?

You’ve probably received several emails over the past few years from companies notifying you that they updated their Privacy Policy. Data privacy is becoming a very big deal. Because of that, I’ve been doing some research and think you should consider not only getting a Privacy Policy but also having a strategy to keep it up to date.

What is data privacy and why does your business need to be concerned?

Privacy laws exist to protect the personal information of individuals online. Privacy laws can start applying as soon as a website asks for a name and an email on a contact form. The Australian Privacy Act, for example, has imposed strict requirements on certain website operators to have a Privacy Policy that contains very specific disclosures. While this law was enacted a while ago, there has been an increase in complaints from consumers regarding the collection of their personal information online. This increase is what could result in increased enforcement of this law.

Do you know if you need to comply with Australia’s privacy law? Do you receive website traffic outside of Australia, which may require you to comply with additional privacy laws? Do you have a strategy to keep your Privacy Policy up to date with new disclosures when new privacy laws are passed or existing privacy laws are amended?

What can you do to get protected?

We had questions like this too. So, to be proactive about this issue, we’ve partnered up two different companies to help solve this for our clients.

Option 1: LawPath

For Aussie businesses, we have recently partnered up with LawPath! As a client of ours, you can get two documents with them for free. Here’s a link to get your docs: https://lawpath.com.au/partner-studio-clvr.

These documents are created in compliance with the relevant state law where your business is based.

Option 2: Termageddon

For clients outside Australia, we’ve teamed up with a Privacy Policy generator called Termageddon. Termageddon is a tool that will help you generate your policies and will even automatically update your website policies when the laws change (as well as notify you when changes are coming), and they do it at a fraction of the cost of a privacy lawyer. If Termageddon sounds like a good solution, the license costs US$99/year, and we are charging a one-time setup fee of $150 AUD to help you create the policy pages, insert/test the code and ensure your policies stay up to date with changes to the law.

We even put Termageddon’s policies on our own website: https://studioclvr.com.au/policies/privacy-policy/.

I reached out to Termageddon and they were nice enough to give me a promo code for my clients to use to save a little extra money (10% off their first-year payment).

Please let me know if you’d like to use Termageddon, will be using LawPath, or are choosing not to have a Privacy Policy on your website.
