Compliance can often be a multi-faceted task – not only do you need to comply with applicable law, but you’ll often need to meet basic third-party requirements as well. Various third-party services process user data in different ways and for different purposes, and it is, therefore, important to ensure that your privacy and cookie policies mention and contain the correct disclosures for each – this is no simple task. Luckily, our Privacy and Cookie Policy Generator contains over 1700 clauses, which covers everything from the most popular third-party services to more niche services, and we’re continually expanding the list.

Below you’ll find, in alphabetical order, a list of individual posts dedicated to each one of the third-party services included in the Generator and specific compliance instructions related to each. The list is not yet complete (as creating posts for each of the 1700+ posts takes quite some time), but we will continue to update as we go along. If the post for the particular service you’re interested in is not yet linked, please check back in a few days or feel free to reach out to us directly for assistance.

Run a simple website or blog? Here’s everything you need to understand and get started with GDPR and ePrivacy compliance.

What you’ll need (and when you’ll need it)

Why? Under most countries’ laws it’s mandatory that you disclose details related to privacy and your data processing activities. Failure to do so can result in massive fines, legally invalidate your newsletter list, leave you open to litigation and negatively affect your the credibility of your website.

When do you need it? Whenever processing personal user data in any way (e.g. Via social connect buttons, contact forms, analytics services — note that even ip addresses can be considered personal data).

Practical

CMS-specific integration

Informative

Common services that explicitly require privacy policies

Mailchimp  | Google Analytics | Google AdSense | Google Ads Remarketing | Amazon Affiliate Program | Facebook Lead Ads

Why? Many websites use cookies for everything from analytics statistics to text and banner ads.

When do you need it? If you use cookies and you have EU-based users, you’re required by both law and by law-abiding third-parties such as Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook etc. to comply with legal requirements; this generally means having valid cookie policy and cookie management solution in place.

Practical

CMS Plugins
These plugins allow you to set up quickly on the most popular platforms and automate much of the prior blocking process

Drupal users, you can access the class via direct download or Packagist, and find full instructions in the PHP class guide linked above.

Important

If you monetize content on your site via ads (including Google’s ad services), we heavily suggest that you meet industry requirements by enabling the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework feature in the Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution. Failure to do so can potentially result in reduced ad reach and revenue.

How to enable the IAB TCF in the Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution › | How to collect consent for Google Ad personalization ›

Why? The GDPR requires that you keep and maintain valid records of consent if processing user data based on consent. Without these records, the consent you collect is considered invalid.

When do you need it? When processing the personal data of EU-based users on the legal basis of Consent. Common Scenarios of this include collecting personal data via forms for newsletters, email lists, subscriptions etc. This does not typically apply to consent for cookies as cookies are still largely governed by the ePrivacy Regulation (Cookie Law).

Important

Note: GDPR requirements also apply to you even if you’re not based in the EU but have EU-based users or you only have non-EU users but are based in the EU. Read more here.

Practical

Informative

Why? The GDPR requires that you keep and maintain valid records of processing if processing the personal data of EU-based persons. Without these records, your processing activities would be in violation of the law.

When do you need it? If you fall under the scope of the GDPR and your processing activities are not occasional, could result in a risk to the rights or freedoms of others, involves sensitive data or if you have more than 250 employees — in short, it’s almost always required.

Practical

Informative

Why? Terms and Conditions (also called ToS – Terms of Service, Terms of Use or EULA – End User License Agreement) set the way in which your product, service or content may be used, in a legally binding way. They are crucial for protecting your content from a copyright perspective as well as for protecting you from potential liabilities.They typically contain copyright clauses, disclaimers and terms of sale, allow you to set governing law, list mandatory consumer protection clauses, and more.

When do you need it? You’ll likely need to set Terms & Conditions if you:

  • have different user levels (eg. registered vs non-registered);
  • want to set the rules for user behavior (including comments) and state grounds for termination of accounts;
  • allow your users to upload content;
  • participate in affiliate programs;
  • provide advice which can potentially cause harm if misused;
  • would like to have some legally enforceable control over, and set rules about, how your product, service or content may be used.

💡 What you’ll need (and when you’ll need it)

Why? Under most countries’ laws it’s mandatory that you disclose details related to privacy and your data processing activities. Failure to do so can result in massive fines, app store/marketplace rejection, leave you open to litigation and negatively affect the credibility of your website or app.

When do you need it? Whenever processing personal data in any way (even ip addresses can be considered personal data).

Why? Many app developers use cookies either in-app or via the app website for everything from usage statistics to remarketing ads.

When do you need it? If you use cookies and you have EU-based users, you’re required by both by law and by law-abiding third-parties such as Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook etc. to comply with legal requirements – in this case Cookie Law. This generally means having valid cookie policy and cookie management solution in place.

When do you need it? In general, you’ll likely need to set Terms & Conditions if you have app which participates in some form of commerce (whether selling to users directly or facilitating trading). Additionally, some specific instances where they might needed are where you:

  • need to make legally required disclosures related to consumer rights (especially withdrawal and cancellation rights);
  • have different user levels (eg. registered vs non-registered);
  • your platform allows users to sell or trade with other users;
  • facilitate or otherwise process payments and/ or other sensitive user data;
  • want to set the rules for user behavior and state grounds for termination of accounts;

These actions may often seem challenging to implement and restrictive towards your business activities.

However, meeting online privacy law requirements is a valuable opportunity for growth for your site/app: you can protect and further enhance your reputation as a reliable/legitimate business, expand your user base and boost your revenue.

Meet the protagonists – Laws from every part of the world

Even though the internet is global, there is no online privacy law that is applicable globally. Instead, you will encounter different laws in various parts of the world. And, each law has its own specific characteristics and requirements.

We have prepared for you a quick overview of several online privacy laws grouped by geographical region, so you can easily choose the laws that you’d like to learn more about.

US laws like the CPRA, and VCDPA are the laws most likely to be relevant to you, if you’re based in the US or have US-based users – regardless of where you’re based.

💡 Meeting US privacy requirements is easy with our US toolbox.

Main laws currently in force:
  • California’s CPRA (CCPA amendment)
  • California’s CalOPPA
  • Virginia’s VCDPA

What do you need to do to get compliant?
Because US privacy laws are typically implemented on the State level, US compliance often means that you need to comply with more than one law simultaneously. This usually means having privacy documents and opt-out mechanisms that meet each State’s requirements.

The GDPR and ePrivacy (Cookie Law) are likely relevant to you if you are based in Europe or if you have/are likely to have in the future Europe-based users, regardless of where you’re based.

These laws also apply to you even if you are not based in Europe but you monitor (e.g., using analytics) the behavior of Europe-based persons.

💡 Meeting the requirements of the GDPR and ePrivacy is easy with our EU/UK/CH toolbox.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

Specifies how and when personal data should be lawfully processed (including how it’s collected, used, protected or interacted with in general). An EU regulation in force since May 2018, it is arguably the most well-known privacy law globally.

What do you need to do to get compliant?
You should meet disclosure and transparency requirements by making sure you inform your users in detail about how you process their personal data. You should also ensure that you collect your users’ consent (for cookies and other purposes) in the correct manner: consent should be freely given, informed, specific and unambiguous.

ePrivacy Directive (“Cookie law”)

It complements the GDPR regarding the protection of personal data of individuals within Europe. It addresses crucial aspects about the confidentiality of electronic communications and the tracking of Internet users more broadly. In force since 2002.

What do you need to do to get compliant?
You must display a cookie banner on your website that is designed to obtain users’ informed consent before storing non-technical cookies on their device and/or tracking them. The cookie banner should allow for explicit and unambiguous consent from your users and should include a link to a comprehensive cookie policy. You should also implement a technical cookie management solution blocking codes that may install non-technical cookies, unless consent is provided by the user.

The LGPD is likely relevant to you if your data processing activities are carried out in Brazil (e.g. your servers are located in Brazil) or if you offer or supply goods or services to persons located in Brazil, regardless of their nationality. The LGPD also applies to you if you process data which refer to individuals located in Brazil.

LGPD (Brazilian General Data Protection Law)

It grants enhanced rights to users and protects both data processed in Brazil and the personal data of Brazil-based users. It can be considered as the Brazilian counterpart of the GDPR, although it differs from the GDPR in several ways. It is one of the newest addition to the online privacy laws family, in force from September 2020 onwards.

What do you need to do to get compliant?
You should meet disclosure and transparency requirements by making sure you inform your users in detail about how you process their personal data. You should also ensure that you collect your users’ consent for different purposes (e.g., a newsletter) in the correct manner: consent should be freely given, informed, specific and unambiguous.

OTHER COUNTRIES Where countries that are neither in the US, EU or Brazil, you must always be mindful of the legally and technically specific requirements of any other laws that might apply. In some cases, other countries’ privacy legislations align with certain standards of the GDPR.
 
MULTIPLE REGIONS Where multiple countries apply, you should refer to the requirements of the legislations mentioned above (US, EU, Brazil) that is applicable to you.
