Privacy Policy – Principles
A privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways in which a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. In addition, a privacy policy generally includes an explanation of the website’s commitment to privacy protection and the various mechanisms it has implemented to safeguard personal information.
Because the legal requirements for what must be included in a privacy policy differ depending on the jurisdiction, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the laws relevant to your business activities and location.
Items to Include in a Privacy Policy
In general, a privacy policy clearly specifies the following: the types of information a website collects and how it is collected, an explanation of why the website gathers such information, how the website handles the sharing of information with third parties, how visitors or customers can exercise their related privacy rights under personal data protection laws, and specific practices regarding the collection of data from minors.
