Have you checked your website for T&Cs?

I am just wondering... how many of you have checked their website for documents required by law, e.g. Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy. Do you check it yourself, or do you leave it to your webmaster to sort it out for you.

I'd be glad to find out what you think!

Although we made sure we were compliant with T&C's, privacy policy, business details displayed etc, it's certainly worth revisiting periodically as quite a lot has changed in recent years, cookie policy, Google cookie updates, etc.

Do you have a definitive list of required documents and information required by the law? Could be pretty useful.

Another reason I don't want a website, someone suggested a one page site as a signpost to my FB page and with contact details for those not on FB but honestly, with all the requirements needed, it's not a simple job is it?


 e.g. Terms and Conditions or Privacy Policy.”
 

Also a good reminder to make sure you are complaint with the new Consumer Act

Sure, Steve!

 

Terms and conditions: If you sell goods and/or services online you need terms and conditions, it’s the law under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

Privacy policy:
It’s the law in the UK under Data Protection to inform visitors how personal data is collected, used and to whom it may be disclosed.

Cookies policy:

Again it’s the law in the UK to have this document, you must tell people if you set cookies and explain what the cookies do and why.

Now, you also may want to have these:

Website Terms of Use:
This essential document tells visitors what they can and can’t do with the content on your site whilst protecting your IP rights.

Acceptable Use Policy:
This essential document sets out the terms on which visitors are permitted to use the features of your website.

Hope that makes sense! There are some documents required by law and some that are optional, but you may want to have to protect your e.g. IP rights.

Well, it's just a one-off thing to sort your documents out, and then you enjoy your website.

Obviously on Facebook, they will take care of it for you!

True but I only want a one page site so it seems like a bit of a faff when time is very precious for me at the moment with a business, a pt job, a toddler and a degree to finish!
