Forms on the site have no nearby privacy notice
This check looks at every form on the site, contact forms, sign-ups, quote requests, for a nearby statement telling the visitor how their submitted information will be used. On this site, one or more forms were found with no such notice next to them, meaning visitors are asked to hand over personal details with no explanation of what happens to that information afterwards. GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) Article 13 requires informing people how their data will be used before they submit it, not after. An absent disclosure is a straightforward compliance gap, and it also quietly undermines trust at the exact moment a visitor is deciding whether to fill in the form, which can reduce how many people actually complete it. You or your developer can add a short line near every submit button, such as 'By submitting you agree to our Privacy Policy' with the policy linked, or add a consent checkbox if the data use requires explicit opt-in. This is a quick fix, roughly an hour across all the site's forms, and needs no legal drafting beyond linking the existing policy.
