Why providers of SaaS or online stores should not ask their users to agree to terms and conditions or privacy policies

It is often common for providers of SaaS solutions or online stores to ask their users to agree to general terms and conditions or privacy policies. But is this practice really necessary or even sensible? In this podcast video, we shed light on the legal background and explain why such a request is often unnecessary and can even be problematic. We discuss the requirements for the inclusion of terms and conditions, the information obligations under the GDPR and the risks associated with incorrect handling, the importance of the “reasonable perceptibility” of terms and conditions and explain how providers can ensure that their users have access to the terms and conditions without requiring active consent. We also discuss the GDPR and why consent to the privacy policy is not required in most cases. We show how a clear distinction between information obligations and consent is important to avoid legal uncertainties.
