Registration and privacy basics for Caistor

Selling or advertising online brings no special licence, but these points are worth checking:

• Organisations, including sole traders, that use personal information need to pay a data protection fee to the ICO, although many can rely on an exemption; the tier 1 fee is £52. ICO: data protection fee
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling
• Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, whose rules on this came into force on 6 April 2025, you must not commission fake reviews or pretend to be a consumer leaving one, and if you publish consumer reviews you have to take appropriate steps to make sure they are genuine. GOV.UK: unfair commercial practices
