Website Privacy Policy - Basic - No Cookies
Website Privacy Policy - Basic - No Cookies is designed for basic websites that collect only limited personal data from users and do not use cookies. It is particularly suitable for simple websites, for example where users contact the website operator through a basic enquiry form.
The template has been drafted with the UK GDPR in mind and covers key privacy information such as data subject rights, retention of personal data, and data subject access requests.
Suitable for low-data websites that do not use cookies
This template is intended for websites with relatively straightforward data processing and no cookie use. It provides a practical starting point for explaining how personal data is collected, used, stored, transferred, and shared.
It is drafted broadly, so it should be checked carefully to ensure that the final policy reflects how your website actually handles personal data in practice.
Key privacy points this template addresses
- what personal data is collected and how it is obtained;
- how personal data is used and the lawful basis for processing;
- how long personal data is kept;
- storage, transfers, and data security information;
- sharing personal data with third parties;
- access rights and other data subject rights; and
- contact details and updates to the policy.
Important scope points
Specific legal advice may be needed if your website handles special category personal data, data relating to criminal convictions, or children’s personal data, as additional measures may be required.
The template also reflects the need to explain data use in clear, user-friendly language, including where personal data comes from, the lawful basis relied on, any automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects, retention periods, and the steps taken to protect personal data.
