PRIVACY POLICY – BASICS
It's important to note, however, that a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways in which a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages data about its visitors and customers. It typically also includes a statement about the website's commitment to protecting the privacy of its visitors or customers, as well as an explanation of the various mechanisms the website uses to ensure this protection.
Different jurisdictions have different legal requirements regarding what must be included in a privacy policy. It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the relevant laws in force where you operate and in relation to your activities.
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A PRIVACY POLICY
Generally speaking, Privacy Policies often address issues such as: the types of information a website collects and how it is collected; an explanation of why the website collects this type of information; policies for sharing information with third parties; ways in which visitors and customers can exercise their rights under applicable privacy laws; specific rules regarding the collection of data from minors; and many other issues.
