Here is a checklist to make your website GDPR compliant:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2022 Know the personal data used on your website. This means that you need to be clear about what data you are using, why you are using it, how long will you retain it etc.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Your website should have a well written privacy policy. You should specify what data you capture and how people can see it. If you store users\u2019 IP address, that should also be mentioned.<\/p>\n
\u2022 E-commerce websites should remove user data over a period of time.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The content of your website should be understandable.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If any kind of data breaches occur, there should be the provision to provide data security.<\/p>\n
\u2022 There should not be any pre-ticked boxes in your website forms. The users should opt it if they are interested. The key principle is to provide the opt-in and opt-out option.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If the user gives consent for the usage of private data, they should have the option to withdraw it anytime they like, (as we unsubscribe to a newsletter).<\/p>\n
\u2022 If your website uses any third party payment gateways, email provider or chat provider; make sure they also adhere to the GDPR regulation.<\/p>\n
\u2022 There should be provision to delete personal user data if the user demands so. The user also has the right to see the data you store about them.<\/p>\n
Non-compliance with GDPR will cause you hefty fine. So, hurry up! Make your website GDPR compliant to avoid any kind of penalty.\n<\/p>\n
