What does 'clear and conspicuous' mean in the context of privacy notices?

In the context of privacy notices, 'clear and conspicuous' signifies that the information must be presented in a manner that is easily noticeable and understandable to the average person. This means that the language used should be straightforward, avoiding complex legal terminology, ensuring that the audience can easily grasp the content and importance of the privacy notice.

A notice that is 'clear and conspicuous' would typically be printed in a readable font size, in a location that is likely to attract attention, and presented in plain language that effectively communicates the intended message about how personal information will be collected, used, and protected. This transparency fosters trust and compliance with legal requirements regarding privacy disclosures.

The other options suggest either obscuring the information, unnecessarily complicating the language, or limiting clarity to just a part of the notice, which would not fulfill the intent of providing a clear understanding of privacy practices.
