GDPR privacy-policy requirements

GDPR transparency requires concise, intelligible, accessible information that reflects processing rather than a copied rights catalogue.

Article 13 and 14 context matters

Required detail differs depending on whether information comes from the person or another source, and includes identity, purposes, bases, recipients, retention, and rights.

Legitimate interests need substance

When relied on, name the interests and assess necessity and balancing rather than using the phrase as a universal basis.

Changes require operational follow-through

A published notice must match records, contracts, security, consent, transfer mechanisms, and request handling.
