Series Part 1 – DSGV-what?

What sales partners should know about privacy law
In May 2018, all self-employed people representing their businesses on the internet, send out newsletters to their clients or store their data in their systems suffered in panic from worries: The DSGVO specter went. Horrendous penalties since then threaten anyone who violates the applicable EU data protection laws (DSGVO). What independent sales partners should therefore pay attention to, we summarize in the next few weeks in a small blog series for you.

Today, we explain what a privacy policy declaration is, in which case and how you need it
If you have a website for your business, a privacy policy declaration is obligatory because it complies with your statutory information requirements. Essentially, you need to educate your customers about how you collect, process, and store their information, what you do with it, and what rights they have to protest that.

It’s all about completeness and the right formulations. Who has done everything right, can meet many legal requirements at the same time with his statement. Here you can a template of a privacy policy declaration especially designed for the direct selling business that can be easily adapted to your needs (in German only).

In Part 2 of our series „DSGV-what?“, we explain the wording that you can use to get your customers‘ data-protection rightful consent.
