Recommendations for Compliance:
- Specify the legal basis for data processing: Under GDPR, include details such as consent, contract necessity, or legitimate interest.
- Add a section for third-party services: If you use analytics tools, payment processors, or similar, list them and link their privacy policies.
- Provide regional-specific rights: If you cater to California users, explicitly include CCPA rights.
- Provide a clear “last updated” date: Keep users informed of policy changes.
