Privacy Policy
A legal disclaimer
The information provided on this page is intended as a general guide to help you understand how to create a Privacy Policy for your website. It does not constitute legal advice and should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified legal professional. For a policy tailored to your specific business practices and legal obligations, we recommend seeking appropriate legal assistance.
Privacy Policy - the basics
A privacy policy outlines how a website collects, uses, stores, and protects data from visitors and customers. It typically includes a commitment to data protection and a summary of the methods used to ensure privacy.
Privacy laws vary by region, so it’s important to make sure your privacy policy complies with the laws applicable to your business and location.
What to include in the Privacy Policy
Your privacy policy may explain what personal information is collected from users, how it is gathered, and the purpose behind collecting it. It should also outline whether and when any data is shared with third parties, as well as how users can access, update, or request the deletion of their information. If your website interacts with minors, include a section on how their data is handled. Finally, it’s important to describe the security measures in place to protect all personal information collected through your site.
