Privacy Policy

A privacy policy is a legal document that informs users about what personal data your organization collects, why you collect it, how it is used, who it is shared with, how long it is retained, and what rights users have over their data.

A privacy policy is legally required for virtually any website or app that collects user data — including analytics, contact forms, or newsletter signups. GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and most other privacy laws mandate a publicly accessible privacy policy.

A compliant privacy policy must be written in clear, plain language; easily accessible (linked in the footer and at every data collection point); kept up to date; and specific enough to cover all actual data practices. Vague or copy-pasted policies create legal exposure.
