Legal Disclaimer
This page provides general instructions and information on how to write your own Privacy Policy. Because we cannot know in advance what specific privacy policies you want to establish between your business and your customers and visitors, you should not consider this article as legal advice or suggestions on what you should actually do. If you need assistance and information in creating your own Privacy Policy, we recommend seeking legal advice.
Privacy Policy Basics
A privacy policy is a statement that explains some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages data from its visitors and customers. It typically includes a commitment to protecting the privacy of the website, its visitors, or customers, and a description of the different mechanisms the website implements to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations regarding what must be included in a Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the legislation applicable to your activities and location.
What a Privacy Policy Should Include
Generally, a Privacy Policy typically addresses topics such as: the types of information the website collects and how it collects data; an explanation of why the website collects such information; the website's practices regarding sharing information with third parties; ways your visitors and customers can exercise their rights under applicable privacy legislation; specific practices regarding the collection of data from minors; and much more.
