The Legal Risk Score of a Privacy Collection Notice Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • There is a risk of limited control over personal information once it is shared, as the document states that the information may be disclosed to third parties such as information technology suppliers, communication suppliers, and business partners.
  • If you choose not to provide your personal information, you may not be able to access all the products and services offered, which could limit your usage and benefits from the services.
  • The document mentions that complaints about the handling of personal information are addressed, but it does not detail the specific processes or timelines involved, which might lead to uncertainties in resolution outcomes.
