Common Mistakes

  • 1 Loading the Klaviyo tracking snippet before marketing consent, which begins behavioural profiling immediately
  • 2 Not separating email marketing consent from on-site behavioural tracking consent
  • 3 Syncing full customer purchase history to Klaviyo without verifying the data minimisation principle

Compliance Considerations

The Klaviyo JavaScript snippet tracks on-site behaviour (page views, product views, cart activity) and links it to email subscriber profiles. Marketing consent is required for the tracking and profiling functionality. Klaviyo processes data in the US — verify international transfer safeguards are in place for EU data subjects.
