For each site, you need to create a privacy policy. This is a common document that indicates the main points related to the process of collecting information about site visitors. The privacy policy should be listed on every page of the site as a link to a document, which should be written in simple language so that everyone can understand it. Such a document will protect you from various types of legal liability.
Steps
Part 1 of 1: Privacy Policy Basics
Step 1. The text should be written in simple language, do not use complex words and terms
Step 2. Keep the text short
You don't want a person to spend half a day sorting out a document, do you? Everything should be stated briefly, clearly and clearly. Provide only the most important information that readers need to understand their rights. They need to know what you are doing with their information.
Step 3. Don't hide anything
Please include all aspects of your privacy policy. All visitors to your site should know what you will do with their personal information. By reading the privacy policy, they agree with it, so you are relieved of any responsibility for the use of their information. Therefore, indicate everything as accurately as possible and do not hide anything. The text tab can be named like this:
- Our privacy policy
- How we protect user information
- Privacy on this site
- Privacy and security
Step 4. Visit other sites
If you are unsure of what to say in a privacy policy document, you can visit other sites and read what they say in their documents. If you find points that apply to your site, you can specify them in your privacy policy by slightly changing the language and rearranging the words in places so as not to completely copy someone else's text. It should be easy for users to find the privacy policy document. Ask yourself these questions:
- Where is the document located?
- How long will it take to look for his arrival?
- Did you have to follow more than one link to find it?
- Is the privacy policy written in plain language?
- Do you understand what this is about?
- Have you believed in what is written?
- What must be tedious to include in the privacy floor
Step 5. You should definitely include as many clauses as possible in the privacy policy document that you post on your website
You must indicate what you do with the information disclosed, the information that is communicated to you. The more information you collect on the site, the more you need to write paragraphs in this document. People will not want to share their personal and financial information with you unless they clearly know what you are going to do with it and how you will protect it. If people don't feel safe, they won't use your site's services. Be sure to indicate whether you are sharing user information with third parties, with whom, and why. Indicate the following points:
- What kind of information is collected on the site.
- Explain why you are collecting this information and how you intend to use it.
- Provide information about the secure storage of user data. Please enter the name of the provider you use to securely store your data.
- Indicate how and where the information is stored. Let site users know if you are sharing information with third parties and what they are going to do with this information.
- Indicate the relationship of various companies that advertise on your site to user information. You must clearly explain with whom and why you are sharing personal information of users.
Step 6. Specify also the policy for storing cookies - identification files stored on the client system
Every time a user returns to your site, the information they enter is stored in special cookies. Many sites clear user records after they leave the site. Be sure to include your cookie policy.
Step 7. Provide information on responsibility
This should indicate the terms of the contract that users secretly conclude with you - the owner of the site. Step 8. You can create a free privacy policy form for your site.
Step 9. There is a special privacy policy generator on the Internet that creates a standard form of privacy policy that you can use on your site
This is the easiest way to create a privacy policy for your site. You can easily figure out the simple interface and be able to specify the options you need to create your privacy policy.
Step 10. Use the free generator on the termsfeed website
Termsfeed is a free privacy policy generator where you can set custom preferences to create a privacy policy for your site.
Step 11. You can use your web post login if you have a blog site
For example WordPress offers a login called legalpages. If you've built your website with WordPress, you can quickly create a privacy policy page using your login.
Step 12. Create a custom privacy policy
You can write the entire document yourself from start to finish. You can formulate everything in your own way, focusing on standard forms of documents indicating the privacy policy. A free privacy policy generator can be found at freeprivacypolicy.com
Advice
- Be sure to include your business transaction information. If you sell your internet business, you can sell custom content with it. Be sure to indicate whether you intend to do this. Because the new site owner will be able to do whatever they want with the user information.
- The more precisely the privacy policy is described, the more secure the site visitors feel. It is better to include unnecessary details in the privacy policy document so that users do not have any questions.
- Your site users will feel more secure if your site has a special security seal, which can be obtained from the Bureau of better business. It is an Internet organization that issues certificates to various companies and Internet sites.
Warnings
- You can include your organization's mission statement in your privacy policy. For example, write "our goal is to satisfy our customers by providing the highest quality products in the shortest amount of time."
- If you update this privacy policy from time to time, be sure to let all users know. Indicate the latest date for the update of the privacy policy on the home page of the site.
- The limited liability that is defined in the privacy policy will not save you from legal claims due to negligent handling of user information.
- If your site uses any services provided by third parties, be sure to indicate this in the privacy policy. Especially when it comes to financial services. Do not use obscure technical terms in this privacy policy document.
