Website solutions from IONOS include an SSL certificate as standard, which secures data transfers to website visitors. Further measures on your website are often already set up, so that you won’t forget the important stuff.
Smaller web projects need to also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when processing data from the EU. If you are creating your own website, make sure you note down the following points:
Privacy policy: Keep a legally compliant privacy policy on an easy-to-find sub-page of your website.
Legal disclaimer: While legal notices are not a requirement in the UK, they should be included if you are selling products or services via your site.
Cookie banners: A good cookie banner provides information and gives website users clear options.
Social media plugins : Set up links to Facebook or X in a way that users can decide for themselves whether their data should be transmitted.
Analysis tools: As standard, tools like Google Analytics collect personal data. You have the option to configure the tools to make them GDPR compliant.
Contract for data processing: If another company manages personal data of third parties on your behalf, you must finalise a contract for data processing. This applies, for example, to the hosting provider or analytics tools.
The privacy policy, cookie policy, and privacy settings are already in place with IONOS website solutions! The somewhat technically complex cookie banner is even ready-made, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Our experts will also be happy to provide personal support and answer any questions surrounding data protection.
