HIGHLIGHTED POINTS:
We need to state exactly what purposes we collect, use, share and retain data for. If these are not the only purposes, we need to add a sentence like “The above cannot represent an exhaustive list of purposes, but all data will be collected, used, shared and retained in accordance with purposes approved by the data protection laws applicable in your location”.
You do not say how someone should contact us with concerns about their data. I would suggest a specific form, which would imply that the matter will be dealt with by a special team rather than being lost in general correspondence. The form should state a response timeframe and how you will deal with the submission.
The cookie policy is from another company. Do not just take it and use it wholesale, you are asking for trouble. If you want me to include the text, please confirm that it is consistent with your requirements,. If you want to link to it, make it a UAWC document and remove any reference to another company.
I refer you to the development of the laws of various sports, in particular the contribution of Sam Chedgzoy, who changed the corner kick law in soccer by dribbling the ball from the corner quadrant, pointing out a mismatch between wording and intention. Chedgzoy is often claimed to be of Polish-Ukrainian origin, but he wasn’t, so don’t assume things!
