Privacy policy for rashidmagicchannel.blogsopt.com
If you’re running a website on the internet, the odds are good that you’re collecting some form of information about your visitors. There are both legal and ethical requirements that make it important to publish a privacy policy on your website.
A privacy policy will protect you from many legal liabilities. At the same time, sharing privacy information with your users is just the right thing to do whether or not it’s required by law.
In the following article, you’ll learn what elements you should include in a privacy policy, what to add to those elements, and a few sample website privacy policy templates and examples to get started.
Key Elements of a Website Privacy Policy
According to the US Better Business Bureau, there are five important elements you need to include in your website privacy policy.
- Notice: Tell your readers all of the personal information you’re collecting about them throughout the site.
- Choice: Explain whether the visitor can opt-out of their information being collected and used, and how to do so.
- Access: Provide any links where readers can see the data you’ve collected and correct it if they want to.
- Security: Detail the security measures you have in place to protect any user data you’ve corrected.
- Redress: Give your visitor options they have available if the privacy policy isn’t adhered to.
You don’t need to include an entire section for each of these topics in your policy, but you should try to make sure all of the information is included in some format.
Let’s explore each of these website privacy policy elements in more detail.
Website Privacy Policy: Introduction
Your privacy policy should start with an introduction detailing what the policy is for.
It should also detail what information the reader will learn from reading it. Insert the name of your service or website wherever you see “(website)” in the text.
You may start with an introduction based on this privacy policy template:
“Here at (website) we take personal privacy very seriously. As a general rule (website) does not collect your personal information unless you chose to provide that information to us. When you choose to provide us with your personal information, you are giving (website) your permission to use that information for the stated purposes listed in this privacy policy. If you choose not to provide us with that information, it might limit the features and services that you can use on this website.
Generally, the information requested by (website) will be used to provide a website feature or service to you, such as commenting, support, or providing future content better tailored to your interests. A description of (website)’s intended use of that information, how that information is collected, security measures (website) takes to protect that information, and how to grant or revoke consent for collection and use of that information will be fully described the ‘Privacy Notice’ section of this privacy policy.”
With the introduction out of the way, it’s time to put together the Privacy Notice section of your privacy policy.
Website Privacy Policy: Notice
To complete the notice section of your privacy policy, you’ll need to do a full audit of your website to determine what information you’re collecting from visitors. Usually, this could include any of the following sources.
- Forms (contact info)
- Login or signup information (names and passwords)
- Ad scripts running on any pages of your site (demographics)
- Cookies (web browsing history)
- Commenting scripts (IP address and location)
- Social media integration (friends and family)
Most blogs, forums, and even larger websites use ad networks, commenting plugins, and other scrips that either directly or indirectly collect information about users.
For example, if your site uses Disqus, it requires visitors to type in their email address. But what many users are not aware of (unless you let them know) is that it also logs the IP address of the computer they’re using to leave a comment on your site.
It’s important that you understand the information your site is actually collecting from users. You should make sure to let them know about it in the notice section of your website privacy policy.
It’s best to create a separate section for each form of data collection that exists on the site. Describe how that tool collects information and what information it collects.
Tailor the text of each example below to match the information that your own site is collecting.
Email Addresses
Most websites today provide visitors a link to send an email or a contact form visitors can fill out to send you a message.
