Why does your website need a privacy policy?

Under UK GDPR you are legally required to provide individuals with a privacy notice explaining how you collect, use and store their personal data. A privacy policy on your website is the standard way to fulfil this obligation.

When is a privacy policy required?

You need a privacy policy if you collect any personal data through your website — including names, email addresses, IP addresses (collected automatically via analytics) or payment details. Almost every business website collects some personal data.

What must a UK GDPR privacy policy include?

  • Who you are and how to contact you
  • What personal data you collect and why
  • The lawful basis for processing
  • Who you share data with
  • How long you keep data
  • Individuals' rights and how to exercise them
  • Your ICO registration number (if applicable)
  • How to make a complaint

ICO registration

Most businesses that process personal data must pay an annual fee to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Fees range from £40 to £2,900 depending on organisation size. Check if you need to register at ico.org.uk/registration.

Keeping your privacy policy up to date

Review your privacy policy at least annually and update it whenever you change how you process personal data — for example if you start using a new third-party service, add a contact form, or begin collecting new types of data.
