GDPR Compliant Email Footer Template

A standard footer message for your emails that references your privacy policy.

Context

  1. GDPR requires you to inform your customers in all your communications about your privacy policy and their GDPR rights.
  2. Email is a common way of conducting customer conversations. The same rules apply if those emails are hand crafted or automatically generated or sent by a software application.

Considerations

  1. Irrespective of the email tool you use, you should be able to set a standard email footer (email signature) that would be added to any outgoing email message. Go to your email application settings panel and a signature. If you are not sure how to do this, we suggest you contact your IT support or website builder for help
  2. As an example you can use our GDPRWise email footer; while replacing the privacy policy link with your own privacy policy link of course.
