This has been on my mind for a while now as GDPR regulations mean I think I am meant to have a page concerning my privacy policy. I have no idea what the legal ramifications are but what I’ve done is take the EU standard policy and added my comments, see below.
I just want to say that I downloaded the sample policy from the EU and the damn thing doesn’t have any test I can select. That is a little annoying. So, here goes:
