Writing a Privacy Policy for your Website

A privacy policy is a formal document usually posted on your website or linked from your website that explains to any visitors to your site what information you collect and what you do with that information. It usually covers three areas: tracking cookies, email addresses and non-public information.

Two good reasons to develop a privacy policy

1. Create more confidence in your website visitors by being transparent about how you handle their information 
2. Follow laws established that pertain to your business
