Privacy notice may be missing topics
What should a privacy notice explain?
Your privacy notice should say who you are, how to reach you, why you use data, on what legal basis, for how long, people’s rights and if data leaves the EU (GDPR Art. 12–14). We only look for keywords, so treat this as a nudge to re-read it.
Why it matters
EU regulators coordinated checks on privacy notices in 2026. People should be told who is responsible, how to reach you, why their data is used, how long it is kept, what their rights are and whether it leaves the EU. We only look for keywords, so a word we missed doesn’t mean the topic isn’t there. This is not a legal verdict.
How to fix it
- Add a short section for each topic we didn’t find, in plain words.
- Name your company and give an email address or form for privacy questions.
- List the purposes, how long you keep data, and how people can use their rights.
