The EU General Data Protection Regulation is a comprehensive set of rules designed to keep the personal data of all EU citizens collected by any organization, enterprise or business safe from unauthorized access or use.

The GDPR went into effect on May 25, 2018, and the provisions in the law greatly affected the manner in which every business transaction involving EU citizens is conducted.

This customizable EU General Data Protection Regulation Policy, created by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, will give you a head start on building guidelines that fit your company’s circumstances.

Featured text from the policy:

CONSENT REQUIREMENTS

The GDPR specifically prohibits the use of long, convoluted terms and conditions statements, particularly statements that contain legalese. Any request for consent, declaration of terms or statement of privacy must be presented clearly and concisely without any ambiguity of meaning. Furthermore, it must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.

To comply with these provisions of the GDPR, the company will ensure the wording of all consent forms, statements of terms and conditions and privacy policies reflect simplified and clear, unambiguous language. In addition, no such statement or consent request will exceed more than two paragraphs or 250 words. All statements regarding personal data will be easily accessible from every page on the customer-facing website.
