The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has launched a new, quick and easy-to-use tool to help small businesses like local retailers create a bespoke privacy notice.
Under data protection law, every organisation that holds people’s information needs to explain why it holds it and what it does with it. This is so that customers, suppliers and staff know what will happen to their personal information.
The new privacy notice generator can quickly create tailored privacy notices relevant to small businesses in a number of specific sectors, including retail.
The tool offers two different types of privacy notice. One for customer and supplier information, and another for staff and volunteers.
You can find the privacy notice generator on the ICO’s website.
