Free privacy
policy: drafting notes
This is a website privacy policy
template. It may be used in relation to many different types of website.
The main purpose of a privacy
policy is to help a website operator to comply with information disclosure
obligations under data protection legislation. Across the EU, that means
compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Within the UK, the
Data Protection Act 2018, which adapts the GDPR for the UK context, applies.
Failure to comply with data protection legislation may lead to civil liability
and/or criminal law penalties.
This privacy policy is a shorter
version of our privacy and cookies policy document. That document is more
flexible than this policy, although at the cost of greater complexity.
To complete this template, you
will need detailed information about how you or your organisation uses personal
data. For example, you will need to know what personal data is processed, the
purposes for which that personal data is used, the persons or categories of
persons to whom that personal data may be disclosed and the periods for which
that personal data will be retained. You will also need to establish the legal
bases of the your processing.
Separate rules regulate the
provision of information about cookies, and this document includes optional
provisions dealing with cookie-related disclosures. If you retain these
provisions, you will need to know the purposes for which cookies and similar
technologies are used on your website.
You should consider whether you
need to take specialist legal advice on data protection.
If you collect sensitive personal
information (such as information about a person's health, sexuality or
political affiliations), or if you collect personal information from children
or about children, you should always take advice before using this (or indeed
any other) privacy policy template. In any case, use of a privacy policy is
only one aspect of data protection compliance.
In many areas, the EU GDPR and the
UK GDPR are identical; in other areas, the differences are limited to
jurisdictional and governmental references. Also, the text of the UK GDPR is
not set out in a single piece of legislation. For these reasons, we have
generally referenced the EU GDPR rather than the UK GDPR in the notes to this
document, although in some areas both are covered. See the Keeling Schedule for
a readable version of the UK GDPR (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/data-protection-law-eu-exit).

Section 3:
The personal data that we collect
The GDPR requires that controllers
disclose to data subjects certain information about the personal data that they
collect, in particular where the data does not come direct from the data
subject.
These provisions are designed to
help with this requirement, and also to help you to categorise the personal
data collected in a way that makes it easy to differentiate between types of
personal data elsewhere in the document.
As you will see, there is quite a
lot of overlap between the different categories that we suggest. For example,
individual names could fall into several different categories. In editing these
provisions, you should retain those categories of data that most closely
reflect the organisation of data in your business, delete the others, and add
new categories as necessary.
Turning to the legislative
provisions, Article 14(1) of the GDPR provides that:
"Where personal data have not
been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data
subject with the following information: ... (d) the categories of personal data
concerned ...".
Article 14(2) of the GDPR, which
also applies in the case that the personal data have not been obtained from the
data subject, provides that:
"In addition to the
information referred to in paragraph 1, the controller shall provide the data
subject with the following information necessary to ensure fair and transparent
processing in respect of the data subject: ... (f) from which source the
personal data originate, and if applicable, whether it came from publicly
accessible sources ... ".
As regards the identification of
the source of personal data in the case that the personal data is not obtained
from the data subject, the guidance from the European Data Protection Board
states that:
"The specific source of the
data should be provided unless it is not possible to do so … . If the specific
source is not named then information provided should include: the nature of the
sources (i.e. publicly / privately held sources) and the types of organisation
/ industry / sector."

Section 4:
Purposes of processing and legal bases
The GDPR requires that controllers
disclose to data subjects detailed information about the purposes and legal
bases of their processing of personal data.
We have suggested some typical
purposes here, but you may need to remove some of the suggested ones and add
your own. Equally, while we have suggested some possible legal bases of
processing in relation to each identified purpose or set of purposes, the most
appropriate legal basis will depend upon your specific circumstances.
The relevant requirements are set
out in Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR.
Article 13(1) of the GDPR provides
that:
"Where personal data relating
to a data subject are collected from the data subject, the controller shall, at
the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with all of
the following information: ... (c) the purposes of the processing for which the
personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing; (d)
where the processing is based on point (f) of Article 6(1), the legitimate
interests pursued by the controller or by a third party".
Article 14(1) of the GDPR provides
that:
"Where personal data have not
been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data
subject with the following information: ... (c) the purposes of the processing
for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the
processing ...".
Article 14(2) of the GDPR, which
also applies in the case that the personal data have not been obtained from the
data subject, provides that:
"In addition to the
information referred to in paragraph 1, the controller shall provide the data
subject with the following information necessary to ensure fair and transparent
processing in respect of the data subject: ... (b) where the processing is
based on point (f) of Article 6(1), the legitimate interests pursued by the
controller or by a third party ... ".
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which
is referred to in Articles 13 and 14, provides that:
"(1) Processing shall be
lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:
... (f) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests
pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are
overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data
subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data
subject is a child."
The UK Information Commissioner's
Office website provides useful guidance in relation to the selection of the
legal bases for processing.

Section 5:
Providing your personal data to others
Article 13(1)(e) of the GDPR
requires that where personal data are collected from the data subject, the data
controller must provide the data subject with information about "the
recipients or categories of recipients of the personal data".
Equivalent rules for data
collected from someone other than the data subject are in Article 14(1)(e).
Although the GDPR refers to
"categories of recipients", the guidance from the European Data
Protection Board on this subject states:
"The term 'recipient' is
defined in Article 4.9 as 'a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third
party or not' [emphasis added]. As such, a recipient does not have to be a
third party. Therefore, other data controllers, joint controllers and
processors to whom data is transferred or disclosed are covered by the term
'recipient' and information on such recipients should be provided in addition
to information on third party recipients. The actual (named) recipients of the
personal data, or the categories of recipients, must be provided. In accordance
with the principle of fairness, controllers must provide information on the
recipients that is most meaningful for data subjects. In practice, this will
generally be the named recipients, so that data subjects know exactly who has
their personal data. If controllers opt to provide the categories of recipients,
the information should be as specific as possible by indicating the type of
recipient (i.e. by reference to the activities it carries out), the industry,
sector and sub-sector and the location of the recipients."

Section 6:
International transfers of your personal data
Optional element.
Article 13(1)(f) of the GDPR
requires that data controllers disclose to data subjects "where
applicable, the fact that the controller intends to transfer personal data to a
third country or international organisation and the existence or absence of an
adequacy decision by the Commission, or in the case of transfers referred to in
Article 46 [transfers subject to appropriate safeguards] or 47 [binding
corporate rules], or the second subparagraph of Article 49(1) [limited
transfers for compelling legitimate interests], reference to the appropriate or
suitable safeguards and the means by which to obtain a copy of them or where
they have been made available".
The European Data Protection Board
guidance on this issue states:
"The relevant GDPR article
permitting the transfer and the corresponding mechanism ... should be
specified. Information on where and how the relevant document may be accessed
or obtained should also be provided e.g. by providing a link to the mechanism
used. In accordance with the principle of fairness, the information provided on
transfers to third countries should be as meaningful as possible to data
subjects; this will generally mean that the third countries be named."

Section 7:
Retaining and deleting personal data
Article 5(1)(e) of the GDPR sets
out the storage limitation, one of the fundamental rules of the regime:
"Personal data shall be: ...
kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than
is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
personal data may be stored for longer periods insofar as the personal data
will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest,
scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance
with Article 89(1) subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and
organisational measures required by this Regulation in order to safeguard the
rights and freedoms of the data subject ... ".
Article 13(2) of the GDPR
provides, in relation to personal data collected from the data subject, that:
"... the controller shall, at
the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with the
following further information necessary to ensure fair and transparent
processing: (a) the period for which the personal data will be stored, or if
that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period ...".
Article 14(2) of the GDPR makes
similar provision in relation to personal data that is not collected from the
data subject.
The European Data Protection Board
guidance on this issue states:
"This is linked to the data
minimisation requirement in Article 5.1(c) and storage limitation requirement
in Article 5.1(e). The storage period (or criteria to determine it) may be
dictated by factors such as statutory requirements or industry guidelines but
should be phrased in a way that allows the data subject to assess, on the basis
of his or her own situation, what the retention period will be for specific
data / purposes. It is not sufficient for the data controller to generically
state that personal data will be kept as long as necessary for the legitimate
purposes of the processing. Where relevant, the different storage periods
should be stipulated for different categories of personal data and/or different
processing purposes, including where appropriate, archiving periods."

Section 8:
Your rights
Article 13(2) of the GDPR provides
that, where personal data is collected from a data subject, certain information
about data subject rights must be provided:
"In addition to the
information referred to in paragraph 1, the controller shall, at the time when
personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with the following further
information necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing: ... (b) the existence
of the right to request from the controller access to and rectification or
erasure of personal data or restriction of processing concerning the data
subject or to object to processing as well as the right to data portability;
(c) where the processing is based on point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of
Article 9(2), the existence of the right to withdraw consent at any time,
without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its
withdrawal; ...".
Similar provisions are set out in
Article 14 in relation to personal data which is not collected from the
relevant data subject.
The European Data Protection Board
guidance on this issue states:
"This information should be
specific to the processing scenario and include a summary of what the right
involves and how the data subject can take steps to exercise it and any
limitations on the right … . In particular, the right to object to processing
must be explicitly brought to the data subject's attention at the latest at the
time of first communication with the data subject and must be presented clearly
and separately from any other information."

Section 9:
About cookies
Optional element.
Under EU law, there are two
additional requirements in relation to the use of cookies and similar
technologies, which apply over-and-above the rules regulating the processing of
personal data: a consent requirement and an information disclosure requirement.
The provisions of this document relating to cookies are designed to aid
compliance with the information disclosure requirement.
This requirement derives from
Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection
of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and
electronic communications), which provides that:
"Member States shall ensure
that the use of electronic communications networks to store information or to
gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or
user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned is
provided with clear and comprehensive information in accordance with Directive
95/46/EC, inter alia about the purposes of the processing, and is offered the
right to refuse such processing by the data controller. This shall not prevent
any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or
facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic
communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide an
information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or
user."
The requirement was implemented in
the UK in the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations
2003. In its current (amended) form, Regulation 6 states:
"(1) Subject to paragraph
(4), a person shall not store or gain access to information stored, in the
terminal equipment of a subscriber or user unless the requirements of paragraph
(2) are met.
(2) The requirements are that the
subscriber or user of that terminal equipment - (a) is provided with clear and
comprehensive information about the purposes of the storage of, or access to,
that information; and (b) has given his or her consent.
(3) Where an electronic
communications network is used by the same person to store or access
information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user on more than one
occasion, it is sufficient for the purposes of this regulation that the
requirements of paragraph (2) are met in respect of the initial use.
(3A) For the purposes of paragraph
(2), consent may be signified by a subscriber who amends or sets controls on
the internet browser which the subscriber uses or by using another application
or programme to signify consent.
(4) Paragraph (1) shall not apply
to the technical storage of, or access to, information - (a) for the sole
purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic
communications network; or (b) where such storage or access is strictly
necessary for the provision of an information society service requested by the
subscriber or user."

All services covered by the
Ecommerce Directive (which was implemented in the UK through the Electronic
Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002) must provide a name, a geographic
address (not a P.O. Box number) and an email address.
Under distinct UK legislation, UK
companies must provide their corporate names, their registration numbers, their
place of registration and their registered office address on their websites
(although not necessarily in this document). Sole traders and partnerships that
carry on a business in the UK under a "business name" (i.e. a name
which is not the name of the trader/names of the partners or certain other
specified classes of name) must also make certain additional disclosures: (a)
in the case of a sole trader, the individual's name; (b) in the case of a
partnership, the name of each member of the partnership; and (c) in either
case, in relation to each person named, an address in the UK at which service
of any document relating in any way to the business will be effective. All
operators covered by the Provision of Services Regulations 2009 must also
provide a telephone number.

Article 3(2) of the GDPR provides
that:
"This Regulation applies to
the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a
controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing
activities are related to: (a) the offering of goods or services, irrespective of
whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the
Union; or (b) the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes
place within the Union."
Article 27(1) of the GDPR provides
that:
"Where Article 3(2) applies,
the controller or the processor shall designate in writing a representative in
the Union."
There are however some exceptions
here. Article 27(2) of the GDPR provides that:
"The obligation laid down in
paragraph 1 of this Article shall not apply to: (a) processing which is
occasional, does not include, on a large scale, processing of special
categories of data as referred to in Article 9(1) or processing of personal
data relating to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10,
and is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural
persons, taking into account the nature, context, scope and purposes of the
processing; or (b) a public authority or body."
Where a representative has been
appointed, Article 13(1)(a) of the GDPR provides that:
"Where personal data relating
to a data subject are collected from the data subject, the controller shall, at
the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with all of
the following information: (a) the identity and the contact details of the
controller and, where applicable, of the controller's representative".

processing is carried out by a public authority or body, except for courts
acting in their judicial capacity; (b) the core activities of the controller or
the processor consist of processing operations which, by virtue of their
nature, their scope and/or their purposes, require regular and systematic
monitoring of data subjects on a large scale; or (c) the core activities of the
controller or the processor consist of processing on a large scale of special
categories of data pursuant to Article 9 and personal data relating to criminal
convictions and offences referred to in Article 10."
Article 13(1) of the GDPR provides
that:
"Where personal data relating
to a data subject are collected from the data subject, the controller shall, at
the time when personal data are obtained, provide the data subject with all of
the following information ... (b) the contact details of the data protection
officer, where applicable".
