Privacy Policy Guidance Notes
These Privacy Information Guidance Notes explain the UK GDPR transparency principle and the right to be informed. They are designed to help organisations understand what privacy information must be given to individuals about the collection, use, and holding of personal data, and how to present that information clearly, concisely, and accessibly.
They are intended to be used alongside the relevant Privacy Policy and Privacy Notice templates, with practical guidance on compliance and a selection guide to help you identify the most suitable Privacy Policy template for your needs, including related offline Privacy Notice templates in the Business and Employment collections.
Understand what privacy information the UK GDPR requires
These notes look at the information organisations must provide to data subjects and the practical challenges of making detailed privacy information easy to understand.
They also explain the difference between a Privacy Policy and a Privacy Notice. In substance, the two terms mean the same thing. Simply-Docs uses them to distinguish between online and offline privacy information.
