Privacy Policy – Principles
A privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of how a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. Typically, a privacy policy also includes an explanation of the website's commitment to privacy protection and the various mechanisms it implements to protect privacy.
Because legal requirements for what should be included in a privacy policy vary by jurisdiction, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with the laws applicable to your business activities and location.
Items to be included in the privacy policy
Generally, a privacy policy specifies the following: the types of information the website collects and how it is collected; an explanation of why the website collects this type of information; how the website operates regarding the sharing of information with third parties; how visitors and customers can exercise their rights under relevant privacy rights and personal protection laws; and specific practices regarding the collection of data from minors.
