Whether you are new to trading or a seasoned online seller, your business will be affected by the eCommerce Directive, which came into force in 2002.
The ecommerce regulations cover much more than ecommerce and were introduced to streamline and simplify the rules surrounding online business.
Over recent years online selling has gained even more momentum, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Today’s consumer now has more choice than ever, so not only is it important that you offer quality goods and services, but you must also have robust measures in place in terms of how you handle customer data.
