Document background
A Website Privacy Notice is a legally required document for any organization operating a website that collects personal data from users in Denmark. This document is mandated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Danish Data Protection Act, and the Danish Cookie Order. It must be easily accessible on the website and written in clear, plain language. The notice needs to be comprehensive enough to cover all data processing activities while remaining understandable to the average user. It should be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect any changes in data processing activities, organizational practices, or legal requirements. The document serves multiple purposes: ensuring legal compliance, building trust with users, and providing transparency about data processing practices. It becomes particularly critical when the website collects sensitive data, uses cookies for tracking, or shares data with third parties.
