Privacy Policy – Overview
A privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages data from its visitors and customers. It typically outlines the website's commitment to protecting privacy and describes the mechanisms it has in place to ensure privacy protection.
Because legal requirements regarding what must be included in a privacy policy differ across jurisdictions, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the laws applicable to your business and location.
What to Include in a Privacy Policy
In general, a privacy policy should clearly state the following: the types of information the website collects and how it is collected; the purposes for which this information is collected; how the website handles information sharing with third parties; how visitors or customers can exercise their privacy rights under data protection laws; and any specific practices regarding the collection of data from minors.
