The legal references that must be included
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 5:44 am
A and to which your privacy policy must be adapted are two: Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council, of April 27, 2016 (known as RGDP) , which is the regulatory framework for data protection throughout the European Union and, above all, Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD) which incorporates this Regulation into Spanish legislation.
Two questions on this subject: a) you don’t need to be a lawyer to know something as basic as this and b) the “I’m a developer and I don’t get involved in legal issues” thing… I’m sorry, but it doesn’t work. If you’re an eCommerce website developer, you need to know, at the very least, that the legal texts on the website must be up to date, because estonia business email database fines for data protection are no joke . It’s not even about writing the texts yourself, but about knowing how to recognize and ask them to correct a text if your client sends you a text that’s wrong.
Test 2: Google +
Although it may seem incredible, there are still a lot of eCommerce websites that have the Google+ icon in their social media links. Ladies and gentlemen, be serious. Google closed Google+ in April 2019 , although it was already a zombie social network long before then. So, what's a Google+ icon doing on an eCommerce website created in 2020?
Well, it's very simple: whoever created that website used a design template that is not up to date and didn't bother to remove it. People aren't stupid, and having references to things that no longer exist doesn't exactly generate trust, and for an eCommerce website of a small business trying to make its way, generating trust in potential customers is essential to ensure that sales are made.
