Creating Your Privacy Policy
Unfortunately, this is not as obvious as it may seem at first glance. There are so many different things you have to take into account, so you need to be careful with what document you draft. The policy has to be easily understood by any reader or potential customer. Clients, in particular, are very important as they do care about their information and what happens to it, especially after the big privacy scandal that Facebook went through.Usually, the privacy policy is just filled with a lot of legal jargon; problems appear since people do not correctly understand what is written in it. A potential customer and even a regular visitor might go somewhere else. At the same time, you will end up with numerous questions about the document and how you handle privacy, which is going to make you lose time you could dedicate towards doing something that would be more profitable for the blog.
The best privacy policy will always be written in a basic language. You need to determine the information that you are gathering from visitors or customers (like an email address for newsletters, cookies or login information) and then clearly state what you are going to do with that information in your privacy policy. In the event, there is something that can be done, and visitors might not appreciate this, it is necessary to state it as opposed to leaving it out.
Most Important Things To Include In A Privacy Policy
- Always write everything in English that is as simple as possible, preferably at a ninth-grade level.
- Let customers and visitors know about the information that is going to be collected.
- Highlight whether or not that information will be shared with affiliates or potential partners.
- List all the federal privacy and state laws or initiatives that you respect.
- Always make it easy to opt out of any information gathering.
- Highlight the fact that the privacy policy can be updated without notice and do update it as regularly as necessary.
