Make your Free Online Privacy Policy

Information is the currency of the internet, and personal information has become a commodity. If you want to give users confidence in your website, you'll need to have an Online Privacy Policy.

An Online Privacy Policy should give users confidence in your website by disclosing the types of personal information collected and how your website uses that information. Privacy Policies usually protect financial information like credit card numbers, addresses, and phone numbers. The written policy can also spell out whether a site collects demographic data such as age, gender, income, race, religion, or political affiliation.

An Online Privacy Policy is designed to provide users with information about how their personal data is collected, used, and shared. A good Privacy Policy should include the following elements:

• What information is collected
• How user information is used
• Whether the company shares user data
• Details surrounding the storage and maintenance of user data
• Changes to the Privacy Policy
• How to update user information
