For some reason, too many practitioners, and many/most consultants, think that if something is stated on the website, then all personnel magically, or by some type of mystical digital osmosis, know what it says and have actually read it.
That goes for the rarely-read-by-employees website privacy policy.
Most personnel don’t know what their website policy says because most get little to no awareness or training about privacy to begin with, and so most go along their merry way each day performing their job responsibilities in ways that violate that posted privacy policy!
Assuming all personnel know what the privacy policies even say = dumb dangerousness
