GDPR: Model declaration of consent for website operators
The GDPR has been in force in the EU since 2018. Every website must now set up a declaration of consent to the data protection of website visitors. We show a sample for creating the data protection declaration that complies with the General Data Protection Regulation.
That is why GDPR and the declaration of consent are important to you
The GDPR serves to protect personal data on the Internet. It ensures that data from Internet users is not misused by private companies or public bodies. In addition, the GDPR ensures free data traffic within the European internal market.
- With the GDPR, Internet users have gained more transparency about the use of their data. It is now easier for you to understand which data is stored and what is used for. You can also request that your data be deleted more quickly.
- For you as a company with a website, this means that you have to set up your online presence according to the regulation. Don't do so and face high fines.
- The sale of personal data to third parties is no longer permitted. In addition, customer profile formation and the use of online advertising on websites are restricted.
- For you, this means that you have to specify a very clear purpose for the collection of user data in the data protection declaration of your website. Only the data necessary for the purpose may be saved. In another practical tip, we have compiled a checklist of all the innovations of the GDPR for you.
- To ensure transparency for users, you must create clear, understandable consent texts and data protection declarations.
- In addition, you as the website operator have an increased accountability. Data processes must be documented and, if necessary, a risk assessment of the data processing processes submitted.
