Privacy finding
The privacy notice does not mention a technique the site uses
Privacy Warning Severity: Medium
Part of the audit Privacy and cookie policy. Finding id: privacy.policyOmitsTechniqueInUse.
What it costs you
Visitors cannot learn about the technique, so the notice does not do its job, however long it is.
What to do
Describe the technique in the notice, with who uses it and why, or stop using it.
What it checks
- Policy leaves out tracking in use
How to fix it
Describe what the site really does
- Add a section on the technique: what is read or stored, by whom, for what, and how to refuse.
How to check: The notice names the technique in the language of the page.
How to verify by hand
Read the notice for other words for the technique; the lexicon may lack a synonym in this language.
What this relies on
A notice that does not name a technique cannot tell visitors about it, as GDPR articles 12 to 14 require.
