make this privacy policy comply with scottish law,s
You're in Glasgow, Scotland, so your privacy policy needs to comply with UK data protection law. This means adhering to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). Additionally, for electronic communications and cookies, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) are crucial.
The good news is that the UK GDPR is largely identical to the EU GDPR, with some minor modifications for the UK context. The DPA 2018 supplements the UK GDPR, covering areas like law enforcement and national security, and provides a framework for how the UK GDPR applies. PECR deals specifically with direct marketing via electronic means and the use of cookies.
Here's an updated privacy policy, incorporating key considerations for Scottish (and wider UK) law. I've highlighted the additions and key points.
