Maybe everyone can wait until Stuarts got the finished site done now

GDPR has confused a lot of webmasters since it came into effect, and the reality is, very little has changed anyway.
I wouldn’t worry about it...looking forward to seeing the completed website.

If if you are storing emails in the course of your business, GDPR applies. It applies even if all you are doing is show casing your work, if that work is for sale then it’s a business. If you’re show casing it for the purpose of generating orders or commissions then it’s a business and GDPR applies.
Simple answer is get a privacy policy. Or don’t, but be prepared to be in breach.
You can can rely on legitimate interest for direct marketing so long as the data subject is given the opportunity to opt out.
Anywho, simple enough to fix.

It is they who have all the info in that case. Anyway, worth doing. If your livelihood depends on your business it’s surely not an inconvenience to sort it
Looking forward to seeing your work online, some cracking stuff so far

At present, I am sitting with the dashboard of my website open. I have a few hundred emails with personal information attached. I have collected a lot of data. Therefor, a privacy policy is required. Now, I only recently got one which is shocking but again, along with Darren how was I to know? No one can purchase from my website yet I still have a lot of other peoples personal information in my possession.
Its also worth noting that Kurt is a solicitor. Surely it’s okat to take his advice in this case (pardon the pun) seeing as he hasn’t charged us for the insight?

My reason for opening this can of worms is because I assumed this website would be a way of customkits marketing his excellent work with an intention to sell - an assumption that seems reasonable, what with this being posted in the Made In The UK forum which is intended "to give another platform to the smaller UK-based businesses to reach the guitar community with their (relevant) products and services" and by the fact that the draft website has a consent tick box on the contact us page - something that would be the right thing to do under data protection principles, but since May that request for consent should be be more explicit for it to be GDPR compliant.
Seems to be a lot of back pedalling going on - or perhaps I have totally misunderstood the intention here, but I hope that Customkits will be selling his excellent work through the website. My point was that if that is the case you need to ensure that data protection is built in right at the design stage.
All very simple to fix really. But better to get it right in the first place than to wing it.
Im tagging myself out now though.
Can we all get back to praising Darren for his excellent builds now?
Yes the guitars are stunning, I'm seriously considering a commission

Looks very nice from here chaps, on PC and phone both, nice and modern, good pics.
One thing - just personal impression - was the logo, the full stop seems a bit out of place, you don't see them in a logo. Might just be me. Also I'd have expected 'Daniels Guitars'. On biz cards, invoices, whatever, it'd be 100% obvious whereas 'Daniels.' prob wouldn't. Could maybe hang the word "guitars" underneath "Daniels", would fit in without freaking out the layout. And give emphasis to 'Daniels' which seems kind of nice given the reasons...
Again just 2p of whatever.
GDPR, don't sweat it. Yes there's a law but if anyone's going to be checked out it'll be the big boys. Privacy policys can be borrowed/adapted/taken from templates.
Address, could say something general like based in Somethingshire England, visitors by appointment, or something. Just gives folk a rough idea without being specific, if you don't want that.
Anyways hope that was taken as constructive, was meant that way, good luck and crack on Darren..
That was just some artwork i had done by my sons friend i can get that altered at some point, there's lots to go on yet and a privacy policy box has been put on
Yes i will say where i am located not that it really matters as my customers are all over the world, got 2 going to the states this year and Europe next probably, i don't rush lol
