Introduction to your General Data Protection Notice
A General Data Protection Notice is a short document your company can use to set out the
conditions under which you will capture or process the data of visitors to your website. This is
ordinarily displayed in a clearly marked section of your company website, and it’s important to
bear in mind that the conditions you outline as part of your General Data Protection Notice do
not include a request for marketing consent.
