Under data protection law, every organisation that holds people’s information needs to explain why and what it does with it. These can be provided through a privacy notice, displayed on a website or included within other communications.
To help nurseries, pre-schools and childminders, the ICO has created a new privacy notice generator that can create tailored, up-to-date notices, free of charge.
Faye Spencer, head of business services at the ICO, said, ‘We're always looking for ways to make data protection compliance simple and stress-free for smaller organisations, who tend to have less time and fewer resources.
‘Our new privacy notice generator does just that. It’s a quick and easy solution that provides organisations with the support they need, so they can concentrate on what they're good at, serving the needs of their customers and growing their organisation.’
The ICO is also encouraging settings that already have a privacy notice to use the generator to check it’s up to date.
