Paper files, email inboxes, booking tools, payment systems, spreadsheets, and phones should be included when privacy practices are reviewed.

Local Planning Notes
Acton privacy planning should match how a smaller business actually collects, stores, shares, and deletes personal information.
Website forms should match the privacy policy
Contact forms, quote requests, email signups, analytics, and online payments should be described accurately and not overpromised.
Vendors should be part of the privacy map
Accountants, payment processors, software providers, marketing tools, delivery partners, and booking platforms may receive or store personal information.

Common Questions
Privacy questions Acton clients often ask.
Does an Acton small business need a privacy policy?
If the business collects, uses, or discloses personal information, a privacy policy and practical internal privacy practices are often important.
Can a business use customer emails for marketing?
Consent, purpose, anti-spam rules, and the way the emails were collected should be reviewed before marketing use.
What should a business do if customer information is sent to the wrong person?
Preserve records, identify what happened, contain the issue, assess risk, review notification obligations, and avoid rushed statements.
