Privacy Policy

Most organisations are legally required to include a privacy policy page on their website. The purpose of such a policy is to inform site visitors about what kind of personal information you handle, how you collect it, and how you use it.

When writing the policy, you will need to account for all of the laws applicable to the locations where your site will be available. The most important rules to consider are those set out in the EU’s GDPR, CalOPPA in the US, and PIPEDA in Canada.

While this may sound complex, it doesn’t have to be. As long as you only collect data you genuinely need, protect user data with adequate cybersecurity measures, and offer transparent information about how you utilize information, you shouldn’t have any issues. One of the quickest and easiest ways to draft up a Privacy Policy is to check out competitor websites and emulate their privacy principles.
