The General Data Protection Regulation applies to any website that offers goods or services to people in the EU or monitors their behavior, regardless of where the business is based, and the UK GDPR mirrors it for UK visitors. Articles 13 and 14 set out what a privacy notice must contain: the identity and contact details of the controller, the purposes of processing and the legal basis for each, the recipients or categories of recipients, whether data is transferred outside the EU or UK and on what safeguards, retention periods, the data subject rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, the right to withdraw consent, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, and the contact details of a data protection officer where one is required.
Third-party services are where most notices fall short. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, HubSpot and Intercom each act as a recipient, many transfer data to the United States, and those that set non-essential cookies require prior consent under the ePrivacy rules that sit alongside GDPR.
VerifiedPrivacy scans your site to surface the services those disclosures must cover, then generates a Privacy Policy with GDPR sections gated on your answer about EU and UK visitors, plus Terms of Service and a Cookie Policy listing each cookie-setting service. The coverage score flags cookie-setting services with no consent banner detected. Enter your URL below for a free scan, and have the output reviewed by counsel familiar with GDPR.
Frequently asked questions
Does GDPR apply to my US-based website?
It can. GDPR applies to organizations outside the EU that offer goods or services to people in the EU or monitor their behavior, and the UK GDPR works the same way for the UK. Accepting euros, shipping to EU addresses or running EU-targeted ads are common indicators. A US site with incidental EU visitors is a gray area. The questionnaire asks whether you serve EU or UK visitors; answer based on your actual business and confirm with counsel.
Does the generated policy include legal bases for processing?
Yes. When you indicate EU or UK visitors, the Privacy Policy includes a GDPR section that maps common processing activities to legal bases: contract for accounts and orders, legitimate interests for security and basic analytics, consent for marketing cookies and email, and legal obligation for tax and accounting records. These are general assignments from the clause library and should be checked against your actual processing by a GDPR-experienced advisor.
Do I need a cookie consent banner under GDPR?
The ePrivacy Directive, applied alongside GDPR, generally requires prior consent before setting non-essential cookies such as those from Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar or YouTube embeds. VerifiedPrivacy does not provide a consent banner, but the coverage score warns when cookie-setting services are present, you serve EU or UK visitors, and no consent tool such as Cookiebot, OneTrust, iubenda, Osano or Termly is detected.
Does this make my website GDPR compliant?
No tool can promise that. GDPR compliance covers your internal practices, contracts with processors, security measures, records of processing and how you handle requests, not only the notice on your website. VerifiedPrivacy produces a privacy notice that discloses the services detected on your site and includes the content Articles 13 and 14 call for, from a clause library. A qualified advisor should review it against your operations.
What about international data transfers?
Most detected services, including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, HubSpot, Intercom and Stripe, process data in the United States. The GDPR section of the generated Privacy Policy explains that data may be transferred outside the EU or UK and refers to the safeguards commonly relied upon, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Verify which mechanism each of your vendors actually uses.
Do I need a Data Protection Officer?
A DPO is mandatory only for public authorities, organizations whose core activities involve large-scale regular monitoring of individuals, or large-scale processing of special categories of data. Most small businesses are not required to appoint one, but must still provide a privacy contact. The questionnaire collects a privacy contact email, which appears in the policy; you can add a DPO designation when editing if one applies.
