What you need to update From 8 June 2026, the withdrawal button is active on your Jimdo Website Builder site. It does not replace your existing withdrawal policy, but works alongside it. In this article, you will learn how both requirements differ and what you need to update before the legal deadline.
What you need to update in your withdrawal policy
You need to update your withdrawal policy to include a reference to the new digital withdrawal option. This means your text should clearly state that customers can submit their withdrawal using the button on your website. The exact wording depends on your country and legal requirements. If you are unsure, consult a legal advisor.
