The GDPR warning wave is getting underway
Warnings due to incorrect data protection policies
The GDPR has just entered into force a few months ago and the first warning letters are already in the starting blocks. The warnings we have received so far mainly relate to the data protection policy, which had to be updated by 25/05/2018. It was almost to be expected that shortly after the deadline a wave of warnings would roll in on online retail.
Here you can find out how you must behave if you receive a warning due to the GDPR. If you have received a warning, please contact Händlerbund by phone or upload it directly via the warning uploader. We will help you immediately!
Reason for warning: Incorrect data protection policy
To be in accordance with the GDPR, the data protection policy had to be adapted. The list of changes is long and those who have failed to incorporate a current data protection policy on their website or shop will quickly land between the crosshairs of the warning lawyers. The following clauses had to be added – here is an excerpt:
- Web analysis and tracking tools such as Google Analytics
- Use of Remarketing or Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
- Social plug-ins such as Facebook, Twitter & Co.
- Disclosure of data to external providers
- Dispatch of newsletters
