3. Granular Opt-In
How do I make my website GDPR compliant?

In order to make your website GDPR compliant any of your website users should be able to provide separate consent for different types of information processing of their data 

Users should be able to provide separate consent for different types of processing.

In this example, the awards company are asking for specific permission for each type of processing (post, email, telephone) and also asking permission to past details onto a third party.

Good practice..

2. Unbundled Opt-In

The consent you are asking for should be set out separately for accepting terms and conditions, and acceptance of consent for other ways of using data.

In this example, Tesco clearly set out the acceptance of their terms and conditions, but then fail to separately set out the active opt-in for their contact permissions: it's opt OUT by default....tut tut again

It’s a shame Tesco didn’t get the option to be more granular in terms of communication opt-in preferences (email, SMS, post)too.

POOR user experience, and must be changed. Each form of communication must be requested separately, so ask for permission separately for Phone, email etc

GDPR Opt In Fail.

Have you any examples you may have seen recently?

1. Forms: Active Opt-In
​
Any forms that ask people to subscribe to newsletters or e zines etc. or indeed indicate contact preferences must default to “no” or be blank.

You need to check your forms to ensure this is the case, if not amend them or you are in breach of the law its that simple!

As an example, the current Argos.ie registration form pre-ticks the opt-in box, forcing the user to actively opt-out. A real no no..

Very bad, a bad user experience, and must be changed .

GDPR Opt In Fail.

Making your website GDPR compliant.

You will have heard at the very least all about GDPR, and most of you will have a vague idea about its essential thrust, so as the dust settles we have a clear idea of what this new protections that are afforded to data provide, and consequently its effect on digital marketing. 
We detail here how you must integrate it in to the very design of your website.(webdesign)
As website designers understanding how the 99 clauses of the 260 page directive effects your website is difficult to understand. We are going to untangle it here over the next few weeks.

Why is it so important, whats the big deal?
​
The main reason GDPR is so scary are the potential financial penalties - €20 Million or 4% of previous years annual turnover, whichever is higher.
Enough to scare most companies, whether large or small, so most are taking this seriously.
Going back to your website compliance, there are a number of rules and regulations which need to be adhered to, each falling into different areas:

• Consent. Ensuring individuals can opt in for data to be gathered
• Processing. Defining rules about the processing of personal data
• Securing data. Ensuring organisations protect an individuals privacy
• Breach notification. Informing individuals (and the authorities) about data breaches
• Right to access. Adhering to requests for access to personal information held
• Right to be forgotten. Ensuring individuals can be removed for your records
• Due process. Ensuring you have defined procedures to follow and individuals responsible for actioning them

In principle these are all quite straightforward, until you start to unpick each one, and this is where it becomes more problematic...

Sign up to updates as we unpick each area over the next few weeks.
