Hey everyone, it's Heleana here, and welcome to Privacy Policies, the place where you can generate custom-made Privacy Policies in seconds to help keep your business safe.

So let's jump right into it.

What is a Privacy Policy?

A Privacy Policy is a statement or a legal document that states how a company or website:

• Collects
• Handles, and
• Processes the data of its customers and visitors

It explicitly describes whether that information is kept confidential, or is shared with or sold to third parties.

Personal information about an individual may include the following:

• Name
• Address
• Email address
• Phone number
• Age
• Gender
• Marital status
• Race
• Nationality
• Religious beliefs

In short, a Privacy Policy is where you let your users know all about how you make sure their privacy is respected by your business practices, what kind of information you are collecting and storing about them, and how you intend to use it.

Am I required to have a Privacy Policy?

If you're collecting personal data of any kind from your users, then the short answer is yes, you're going to need a Privacy Policy in place on your website for your users to find out this information.

Personal data is critical to the person it belongs to. From credit card numbers and social security numbers to email addresses and phone numbers, our sensitive, personally identifiable information is important. This sort of information in unreliable hands can potentially have far-reaching detrimental (or something like that) consequences.

This is why companies or websites that handle customer information are required to have and publish their Privacy Policies on their business websites.

Around the world, laws and regulations have been developed for the protection of a user's data. From Europe's GDPR and California's CPRA, to Canada's PIPEDA, each one has high standards for their people's rights to privacy.

There are several reasons for a website to post its Privacy Policy on its website:

1. Firstly, it's required by the law
2. Secondly, it is required by many third party services
3. Thirdly, it Increases transparency for your users

Take, for example, an excerpt from Pinterest's Privacy Policy that clearly describes the information Pinterest collects from its users as well as from any other source that users enable Pinterest to gather information from:

The information that the user voluntarily gives includes names, photos, pins, likes, email address, and/or phone number etc., all of which is regarded as personal information.

For individuals to feel comfortable sharing their personal information on the internet, there should be some sort of legal responsibility on a business' end to protect that data and keep the users informed about the status and privacy of their information.
