Penalties for missing documents on the site

The presence of a website in any company is no longer a sign of its conscientiousness and integrity. Anyone can make a website. To do this, the resources of the network have many opportunities.

There are a number of requirements that any site must meet. One of these requirements is the availability of certain legal documents by which the company can be identified as a bona fide counterparty.

Let's figure out in this article what documents must be posted and what threatens for violating this requirement.

Mandatory accommodation is subject to:

• Contact and banking details
• Terms of use
• PD Processing Agreement
• Privacy Policy
• Public offer

Since July 1, according to Federal Law-152, fines for violation of the privacy policy and processing of personal data have increased significantly.

For the lack of information on the site about its owner - the name of the company, address, phone numbers and other means of communication, penalties can be up to 40,000 rubles.

If the site does not contain a link to the user agreement and the agreement for the processing of PD, then the site owner will have to pay a fine of 10,000 to 50,000 rubles. Keep in mind that the user agreement may include many sections, including the policy for the processing of personal data.

If the site does not have a privacy policy, then the fine for an individual entrepreneur will be 10,000 rubles, and for a company 30,000 rubles.

Penalties apply to all personal data operators; including - any owners of online stores.

If you have a website, then almost certainly you collect PD on it. Therefore, in order not to receive a fine, and in some cases blocking of the site, you need to bring it into line with the new legal requirements.
