Every Privacy Policy is going to be unique to that business. If your policy doesn't accurately describe your data protection practices you could be setting yourself up for legal wrangles down the line. Think of it like an insurance policy. Hopefully you'll never need it but if you do you want to make sure there is no wriggle room.
Your website sets out what you're doing but are you doing it in practice? How you can prove it?
A data protection policy is a good place to start. This is where you set out your practices like how you manage passwords, emails, device security, levels of access and more.
Record how long you store information for and how you dispose of it. Create some procedures for handling Data Subject Access requests and Security Breaches.

If you see us there, please come over and say hi - we'd love to meet you.
