Frequently asked questions
Can I publish the starter unchanged?
You should not. A privacy notice must describe your actual processing. Remove irrelevant sections, add missing facts and have the final text reviewed where appropriate.
Does a privacy notice create compliance by itself?
No. The practices, controls and internal records behind the notice must also be accurate and operational.
