What Is a Privacy Policy?

A privacy policy is a legal document on your website that informs users about how you collect and handle their personal data, who you share it with, if you sell it, what rights they have over it, and any other relevant details.

You might also call a privacy policy a:

  1. Privacy Agreement
  2. Privacy Clause
  3. Privacy Notice
  4. Privacy Page
  5. Privacy Policy Statement

Some specific platforms or services may require a unique privacy policy template, for example:

  1. Mobile app privacy policies
  2. Privacy policies for Blogger
  3. WordPress privacy policies
  4. Ecommerce privacy policies
  5. Small Business privay policies
  6. Email marketing privacy policy

However, a standard privacy policy template will likely satisfy user demands and legal requirements for your website.

Example of a Standard Website Privacy Policy

A simple privacy policy outlines the following information:

  1. What information is collected
  2. Where the information is collected from
  3. Why the information is collected
  4. How the information is collected
  5. Who the information is shared with or sold to
  6. What rights users have over their data and how to act on them
  7. The site’s contact details

If you use a template, remember that your final privacy policy should also be clear to read, thorough, and easy for internet users to find.
