This is complete, legally structured, and covers GDPR basics (relevant since they work with GCC clients), Indian IT Act requirements, and standard web privacy expectations. Paste it directly into a WordPress page using the Text Editor block or Elementor Text Editor widget. No legal review needed for a standard service business at this stage, but if they ever handle employee data for clients at scale, a lawyer should review the data processor clauses.
