Website Legal Requirements
As the website owner, you are legally responsible for ensuring your site complies with UK law. We will set up the foundational elements, but you must verify and maintain their accuracy.
Required Business Information
If your website represents a registered business (like a Limited Company or LLP), you must display the following information on your site:
- Registered business name and number.
- Registered office address.
- Place of registration (e.g., England & Wales).
- Contact details, including an email and a non-electronic method of contact (e.g., a postal address).
- If you sell online, your geographical business address.
- Your VAT number, if registered.
Privacy & Data Protection (GDPR) & ICO Registration
We will install a basic privacy policy template that explains how your site handles user data. You are responsible for reviewing this policy and ensuring it accurately reflects your specific data collection and usage practices. If updates are needed, you can edit it yourself or contact us for assistance.
If your website collects any personal data (e.g., through contact forms, orders, or cookies), you likely need to register with the ICO and pay a data protection fee. It is your responsibility to check this using the ICO’s self-assessment tool and to register if required.
Cookie Policy
We will install a cookie policy that complies with ICO guidelines. By default, this will include your hometown and country for contact purposes. If you prefer to display only your country or your full business address, please let us know.
If you sell online
If you sell online, you have additional legal obligations. You must clearly display your terms of sale, including:
- Delivery costs and timescales.
- Returns, refunds, and cancellation policy.
- Complaint handling procedure.
- Pricing, including all taxes.
- Customers’ rights to cancel and return goods.
Important Disclaimer: We are web designers, not lawyers. This information is a guideline. It is your ultimate responsibility to ensure full legal compliance for your website and business. We strongly recommend consulting with a legal professional.
