Law and compliance
GDPR
Also known as: data protection, personal data
Understanding the term
For a business website, the essentials come down to four obligations: collect only what is necessary, explain its purpose, allow access and deletion, and obtain freely given consent for any non-essential tracking.
A contact form that states neither its purpose nor its data retention period is the most widespread failing, and the simplest to fix.
