Privacy Policy
A legal disclaimer
The information provided on this page is intended only as general guidance on creating a Privacy Policy. It is not legal advice, nor should it be relied upon as specific recommendations for your business. Every business has unique requirements, and your Privacy Policy should reflect the particular practices and relationships between you, your customers, and your visitors. We strongly recommend seeking independent legal advice to help you understand your obligations and to assist in drafting a Privacy Policy that meets your specific needs.
Privacy Policy - the basics
A Privacy Policy explains how a website collects, uses, shares, and manages the personal data of its visitors and customers. It also outlines the site’s commitment to protecting privacy and the steps taken to safeguard information.
Because privacy laws vary depending on jurisdiction, every business has its own specific obligations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Privacy Policy meets the legal requirements that apply to your location and activities.
