Privacy Policy
However, a privacy policy is a statement that describes some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes and manages data from its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement about the website's commitment to protecting the privacy of its visitors or customers and a description of the different mechanisms the website has in place 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 relevant legislation relevant to your activities and location.
What should be included in the Privacy Policy?
Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy will usually address issues such as: the types of information the website collects and how it collects the data; an explanation of why the website collects such information; what the website's practices are for sharing information with third parties; ways your visitors and customers can exercise their rights under applicable privacy legislation; specific practices regarding data collection from minors; and much more.
