As you’re reading this article, I am sure you’ve already heard about the GDPR law that came into profound effect back in 2018. It sent most bloggers and website owners into a panic mode because they had no clue how to be GDPR compliant. Though there are quite a few things you need to follow to be GDPR-compliant, two of them are adding a proper privacy policy and cookie consent on your website. If you’ve been struggling to write and add those yourself, then this article will pour some light on your worries. You’re about to discover some fantastic tools that’ll help you generate those legal pages in an instant. But first, let me tell you why you must abide by the laws.
Increased customer confidence
By being GDPR-compliant, your customers automatically gain a sense of trust, seeing that your business is a good custodian of data. GDPR mainly focuses on customer protection, and following that would signal that you care for your customers.
Cuts down data maintenance cost
Since GDPR only allows a set of data collections as per their rules, abiding by it would mean getting rid of any other forms of collections and cutting down unnecessary data maintenance costs.
Eliminates the risk of being fined
Did you know that you could face some severe penalties if you don’t follow the GDPR? One of them is getting fined, and the amount is probably more than you think. Just recently, a company was fined 14.5 Million Euros for not having proper data retention. This is just one example. There have been a lot of such instances, and I am sure you don’t wish to be the next one. So to conclude, being GDPR-compliant eliminates the risk of getting fined. Let’s explore the following tools and services.
