Dynamic Privacy Policy

WP Minder makes it easy to stay compliant with rapidly-changing privacy laws while you focus on your business!

You’ve probably received quite a few emails from companies notifying you that they have updated their Privacy Policy. Data privacy is becoming a very big deal, and because of that, we recommend not only getting a Privacy Policy, but also having a strategy to keep it up to date.

What is data privacy and why does your business need to be concerned?

A number of privacy laws are now in place to protect the personal information of residents of certain states. For example the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)  provides for fines that can reach $2,500-$7,500 per website visitor – but there’s no cap on the total amount of fines.

Examples of personal information include asking for a name and email on a contact form, or using a website analytics tool (like Google Analytics) to gather data about user activity. If you collect personal information, your website needs a privacy policy.

More and more states are proposing their own privacy laws as well. In the US, there are 19 states that have enacted privacy legislation (and more on the way). Some of these bills would enable citizens to sue businesses for having a contact form without an updated Privacy Policy. Several of these state bills make note that businesses of any size and any location will have to comply or may face fines or lawsuits.

And because the US, unlike Europe, will have a patchwork of different laws, keeping up with them is going to be difficult.

What can you do to get protected?

To be proactive about this issue, we’ve partnered up with a Privacy Policy generator called Termageddon. They will automatically update your website policies when the laws change (as well as notify you when changes are coming), and they do it at a fraction of the cost of hiring a privacy attorney.

Our auto-updating privacy policies cover GDPR, CPRA, CalOPPA, PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, DOPPA, VCDPA, Connecticut SB6, Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Colorado Privacy Act, Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, TDPSA, Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, and the Australia Privacy Act of 1988. They will also cover eight new privacy laws going into effect in 2024 and 2025.

If Termageddon sounds like a good solution for your business, the license is only $12/mo, and we charge a one-time setup fee of $125. You’ll receive a survey that will help us create your policy pages, then we’ll insert the code into new pages in your website and add links in the footer. Your policies stay up to date with changes to the laws.  We even use Termageddon’s policies on our own business websites.

What’s included?

Besides the auto-updating Privacy Policy, you also get the following:

• Terms of Service to protect YOU from your customers by stating the rules for using your website.
• Disclaimer to limit your liability if you sell or provide legal, health or other advice or sell third-party services or products on your site.
• Cookie Policy and Cookie Consent so users can choose their consent settings (required by GDPR and a number of US state privacy laws).
• EULA (end user license agreement) to limit liability for businesses that sell software.
• Consent checkboxes added to website forms and linked to your privacy policy.

The Dynamic Privacy Policy is just one more convenience we provide to help you manage your business with less stress.
