What is legal compliance for a website?

An online presence is not a presence without rules.

All digital assets must comply with certain French legal rules, and it's particularly important to check that a website or application is legally compliant.

Website Compliance Services

  • Regulatory compliance: My main aim is to ensure that your website, whether e-commerce, a showcase site, a blog or a services platform, complies with all relevant regulations. This includes compliance with the RGPD for the protection of personal data, the adequacy of the Terms and Conditions of Sale (T&Cs) for e-commerce sites, and other essential legal obligations.
  • Risk management and penalty prevention: By focusing on prevention, I work to minimize the risks of non-compliance that could lead to financial penalties, reputational damage or legal disputes. I also assist you in implementing best practices to maintain ongoing compliance. The DGCCRF or DDPP can inspect your website.
  • Training and keeping up to date: In addition to compliance, I'm committed to providing educational advice and training to help you understand the legal implications of your online business. This includes raising awareness of the latest regulatory developments and best practices in digital compliance, including how your website or e-commerce site works.

Step-by-step analysis

Steps to compliance
for a website

Stage - 1
Preliminary discussions

The first step is to establish an in-depth dialogue to understand the specifics of your website and online business. This enables me to pinpoint your precise needs and expectations in terms of legal compliance.

Stage - 2
Legal audit of the site

I then carry out a complete legal audit of your website.

This detailed analysis aims to identify any non-compliances with current regulations, such as the RGPD, the Hamon law, and other legal obligations essential to your online business.

Bringing a website into legal compliance therefore requires several different steps.

Stage - 3
Writing and updating documents

Based on the results of the audit, I draft or update the necessary documents such as the General Terms and Conditions of Sale (GTCS), privacy policy and legal notices. These documents are customized to perfectly fit your business and guarantee full compliance.

Stage - 4
Optimization of Site processes and Forms

Depending on the needs identified during the audit, I propose changes or improvements to your site's purchasing processes or internal methods. This may include revising data collection forms to ensure compliance with the RGPD and other regulations.

Stage - 5
Advice and ongoing support

Finally, I provide ongoing advice to keep your site compliant as legislation and technology evolve. This support is designed to ensure that your website remains compliant and up to date, giving you legal peace of mind in managing your online business.

What are your risks?

What are the risks if my website is not compliant?

The risks depend very much on the category of your website, but we can break them down as follows.

  • Non-compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) : Fines of up to 4% of worldwide annual sales or 20 million euros, whichever is higher (Article of law: Article 83 of the GDPR).
  • Non-compliant legal information: fine of up to 375,000 euros (French Commercial Code and Law on Confidence in the Digital Economy).
  • Incomplete General Sales Conditions (GSC): Over 500,000 euros in cumulative fines (French Consumer Code).
  • Breach of the Hamon Law for distance selling: Varies according to the nature of the breach (Consumer Code).

So don't forget about legal compliance for your website!
