Privacy Best Practices

Operating without a privacy policy violates GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations — and makes users rightfully distrust your handling of their data.

Without terms of service, you have no legal basis to restrict abuse, terminate accounts, or limit your liability for user-generated content.

Not offering account deletion violates GDPR's right to erasure and CCPA's right to delete — and is a significant privacy red flag for users.

Setting non-essential cookies without user consent violates GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements for EU users.

Storing full card numbers, CVVs, or PANs in localStorage, sessionStorage, or your own database violates PCI DSS and creates massive liability.

Running user tracking, fingerprinting, or behavioral analytics without explicit consent violates GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy laws.

Collecting more personal data than you need violates GDPR's data minimization principle and increases your liability when a breach occurs.

Not showing users their account's last activity makes it harder for them to detect unauthorized access.
