At Moore Barlow, we understand how crucial it is for businesses to protect the personal data they collect, store and process.

With privacy regulations such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 setting a high bar for compliance, having a robust, clear and legally sound privacy policy is essential. Our expert privacy policy solicitors guide you through this complex area, ensuring your business remains compliant while building trust with your clients and stakeholders.

Privacy policies are more than legal documents; they are statements of responsibility and transparency. Whether you’re a small business, a tech start-up or an established organisation, our legal team can create or review your privacy policy to ensure it reflects current legislation, your company’s practices, and industry standards. We also offer strategic advice on your wider data protection obligations, helping you manage risk in a fast-changing digital world.

What is a privacy policy?

A privacy policy is a legal statement that outlines how a business collects, uses, discloses and manages personal data. It informs individuals – such as customers, users or employees – about their data rights and how their information will be treated. Privacy policies are required by law and are a critical component of UK data protection compliance. They must be tailored to your business operations and kept up to date to reflect any changes in data processing practices or relevant legislation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a privacy policy on my website?

Yes. Any business that processes personal data, including collecting information through a website, must have a privacy policy accessible to users. It’s a legal requirement under UK GDPR and plays a vital role in demonstrating transparency and accountability.

You should review your privacy policy regularly, at least once a year, or sooner if there are changes in how you handle data or updates in the law. An outdated policy may lead to compliance issues or reputational damage.

While templates can be a starting point, they often fail to reflect the unique nature of a business’s data practices. A solicitor-drafted privacy policy ensures thorough legal protection and accuracy, minimising compliance risks.

Not always. While privacy policies may mention cookies, you may also need a separate cookie policy or notice, particularly if your website uses tracking technologies. Our team can help you draft both documents to ensure full compliance.
