A legal disclaimer

The explanations and information provided on this page are general guidelines about Privacy Policies. They are not intended as legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Since every business is unique, we cannot know the specific privacy practices you wish to implement between your business and your customers or visitors.

We strongly recommend that you seek professional legal advice to better understand your obligations and to ensure that your Privacy Policy is tailored to your business and complies with the relevant laws in your jurisdiction.

Privacy Policy – The Basics

A Privacy Policy is a formal statement that explains how a website collects, uses, processes, discloses, and manages personal data from its visitors and customers. It also outlines the website’s commitment to protecting user privacy and the safeguards put in place to ensure that information remains secure.

Because privacy laws vary across countries and regions, it is your responsibility to make sure that your Privacy Policy meets the legal requirements that apply to your business activities and location.

What to include in the Privacy Policy

In general, a well-structured Privacy Policy may cover the following areas:

  • Types of Information Collected: The kind of personal and non-personal data you gather from visitors or customers.

  • Methods of Collection: How you collect information (e.g., forms, cookies, analytics tools).

  • Purpose of Collection: Why the data is being collected (e.g., to provide services, process payments, send updates).

  • Data Sharing Practices: Whether and how information is shared with third parties.

  • User Rights: The rights visitors have regarding their data, depending on applicable privacy laws (e.g., access, deletion, opting out).

  • Children’s Privacy: How your site handles the collection of data from minors, if relevant.

  • Security Measures: The steps you take to protect personal information.

Your Privacy Policy should reflect your actual practices and be updated regularly to remain accurate and compliant.
