Privacy Policy - Principles
A privacy policy is a statement disclosing some or all of the ways in which a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages data about its visitors and customers. A privacy policy also typically includes a description of the website's commitment to privacy protection and the various mechanisms the website has in place to protect privacy.
Because different jurisdictions have different legal obligations regarding what should be included in a privacy policy, it is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with any laws relevant to your business activities and location.
Items to be included in the Privacy Policy
In general, the privacy policy will specify: the types of information the website collects and how it is collected; an explanation of why the website collects this type of information; how the website operates with respect to sharing information with third parties; how visitors and customers can exercise their relevant privacy rights and how to exercise those rights under the Personal Protection Law and other applicable laws, as well as specific operational practices regarding the collection of data from minors.
