GDPR Compliance
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in 2018. If your company has customers or website visitors within any EU country, this vital regulation affects you. GDPR governs how you gather and retain website visitor analytics information. This includes how you process and store information sent in contact forms, privacy policy language, and your processes for allowing users to opt-out or be removed from your CRM. We’ll help you figure out your company’s best options and ensure your website and marketing processes are GDPR compliant.
CCPA Compliance
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is newer than GDPR, with regulation starting January 2020. It’s quite similar to the GDPR, but aimed at protecting the data privacy of California residents. This regulation’s implications extend to any business with customers residing in California, even if it’s only online. The good news is that the guidance for a CCPA compliant website is similar to GDPR, and our team has experience in implementing the steps required for compliance.
HIPPA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) affects any business or organization in a health-related field. Information you collect through contact forms, analytics, or other means has to follow the strict data privacy and security provisions required for safeguarding medical information. Even if you aren’t directly asking for patient information through your website, if you’re in the healthcare field, a patient could accidentally enter their information into a contact form, which means you’ll need HIPPA compliant forms. We can help you implement turnkey solutions for HIPPA compliance.
Accessibility Compliance
Having an accessible website is a good business practice and a legal mandate. The two leading accessibility guidelines that oversee website requirements are detailed in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Whether you have a mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 AAA accessibility or are taking steps to safeguard your investment against future complaints or accessibility lawsuits, we’ll help you establish the best practices you’ll need to develop long-term website compliance and accessibility requirements.
How to Achieve a Compliant Website
Regardless of industry, most websites today must comply with guidelines that regulate what you can and cannot do with your company’s website. Consider these regulations table stakes—every company must comply with them. But don’t let compliance fears overwhelm you into a state of indecision. Our team and compliance partners can help you decipher the technical and legal jargon then implement the most sensible solutions for your company and website.
