Three Things All Web Professionals Must Know About Privacy

Clients trust web professionals to guide them to a website that generates leads. An unfortunate side effect of lead generation is the collection of personal information. For example, a website that has a contact form that collects a name and an email address collects personal information.

Laws require most websites that collect PI to have a Privacy Policy. Clients often look to web professionals to answer the questions “do I really need a Privacy Policy, and why?”

The fact is that most web professionals should have some knowledge of why privacy is important, what websites need a Privacy Policy, and should be the ones speaking to their clients about the topic. In this talk, Donata will answer all of the above questions and empower web professionals to be true advocates for privacy and protection for their clients.
