Orla Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 1) Do I need to add anything else to the actual GDPR text? I do have terms and conditions of sale already in the checkout section, and I also had them as information with the actual artwork information. 2) Should I put this on every page of the website, and if so, how? Too many banners would look messy - I'm planning on a newsletter pop-up thing later - but could I simply have a link at the bottom for GDPR and Terms & Conditions, so that visitors can just go and read these and we'll all be in the clear? I'm in Ireland and the EU so I HAVE to do the GDPR thing. Thanks in advance, everyone. Link to comment
AdamSwish Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hi Orla Under GDPR you have to be able to completely delete a user's / customer's personal information if requested to do so. It's captured under the "right to erasure" or commonly called "the right to be forgotten". Currently, Squarespace allows you to remove a user from a mailing list (so you would no longer send them campaigns), but you cannot delete that user from your profile. This can't possibly be GDPR compliant so I have had to find an alternative solution to Squarespace email lists and campaign. Orla and johnbacud 2 Link to comment
Orla Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Thank you for this. I should have mentioned that I am using MailChimp for the user data, I decided to add it since I posted my query up, having done some research. If I was to the SquareSpace data storage, I would have had to pay extra for it, but could get a free version from MailChimp. Since posting this I have improved the Privacy Policy, Terms of Sale and Returns and Refunds, and just put all that stuff on one page and provided a link to it from the information on the artworks. If you could take another quick look for me, that would be great. *Pretty please* Link to comment
