When you are answering the Privacy Policy questionnaire, you will be asked whether you share the personal information that you collect with anyone else. While many business owners do not think that they share personal information, it is actually a very common practice. Websites commonly share the personal information that they collect and you should select "yes" to this question if you do any of the following:
- Use a content management system such as Wix or WordPress as that system will automatically receive the personal information that consumers submit on your website (please note that this may not apply to you if you are self-hosting the content management system and not sharing personal data with the content management system);
- Use a customer management system such as Hubspot or SalesForce where you input your customers' personal information;
- Use an analytics service such as Google Analytics that receive the personal information of anyone visiting your website;
- Use an email newsletter sending tool such as MailChimp or Constant Contact where you input your customers' names, email addresses, and other personal information;
- Use a third party web development team that sees your users' data when they login to your website to perform maintenance or build new features.
If you perform any of the above actions or share personal information in any other way, you should select "yes" to this question.
