Before you begin to attract new visitors to your newly designed website, you need to first earn their trust. Very few people are willing to give you their name and email address for promotional purposes if they think you might abuse their information. To lessen these types of concerns and to make your users feel more comfortable providing you with their information, it is very important that a company develops a privacy policy.
A privacy policy is a legal document that discloses how a party retains, processes, discloses, and purges customer's data. The exact contents of a privacy policy will depend upon the applicable law.
Majority of privacy policies are located at the bottom of a website. It should always be displayed in a prominent location where visitors can easily find it.
When preparing a privacy policy, it is best to make sure that viewers know exactly what type of information is being collected about them and precisely this information is being used. It is also good to mention that you respect each user’s right to privacy and will agree with and abide by anti-spam laws.
A good way to begin crafting your own policy is to first take a look at other sites. Additional help in putting one together is available at http://www.privacyaffliates.com.
