What is Legally Binding? Legally binding requires both party's signatures on a document. A legally binding document is an agreement that has been made between two parties where specific actions are prohibited or required on behalf of one or both of the parties.

A non-binding contract is an agreement that has failed because it is either missing one of the key elements of a valid contract, or the contents of the contract make it so that the law considers it unenforceable.

This means you should add a checkbox to get agreement regardless of what privacy laws apply to you at the moment to stay one step ahead. These checkboxes also just hold up better in court if you ever need to prove that a customer actually did agree to your terms.

Contrary to popular belief, having a checkbox on every form that collects is not required under the GDPR. A checkbox isn't required if the user, by submitting a form for its stated use, gives explicit consent.

Yes, clickwrap agreements (provided they are designed, presented, and tracked in compliance with best practices) are just as enforceable as both traditional wet ink signatures and electronic signatures in the US.

GDPR fields include consent text with a description of why the user's data is being collected, options using checkboxes to allow the user to opt-in to specific services, legal text which explains in legal terms how the data will be used, and links to privacy policy and terms.

A legitimate terms-of-service agreement is legally binding and may be subject to change. Companies can enforce the terms by refusing service. Customers can enforce by filing a lawsuit or arbitration case if they can show they were actually harmed by a breach of the terms.

Checkboxes are a helpful way to share your Privacy Policy and give users a way to actively consent to your data practices. Using a checkbox means a user must take an action and click to show that they agree to your Privacy Policy.
