The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European privacy law, in effect since 25 May 2018, that regulates how personal data is collected, used, and stored. Personal data is any information that can identify a living person, alone or combined with other data, such as names and email addresses. On a website, this includes contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, analytics, and embedded content from third parties like social media feeds or maps.

The GDPR requires a Privacy Policy that explains to visitors how your site collects and uses their data. If you are based in Germany, German law also requires an Impressum, a legal notice with your business name, address, and contact details.

The following article is a good resource for information regarding website legal policies:
10 legal pages you need on your website

A highly recommended source for updated legal content for your legal pages is Termageddon*.
The legal pages are kept up-to-date as the law changes.

Another highly recommended source for dynamically generated privacy and other legal policies is GetTerms*. Also available as a lifetime deal. However, it does not generate an impressum.

PLEASE NOTE:
This information is available as a resource, but should not be construed or relied upon as legal advice. The information for the Impressum and Privacy Policy cannot be used as legal advice. With the use of the generators, it is the responsibility of the website owner to confirm with a lawyer all legal validity and complete compliance with GDPR.
