Protect Your Website With A Privacy Policy…The Safe, Sure Way

Mike Young · July 23, 2013 ·

What is a website privacy policy?

A privacy policy is a legal document used by businesses on their websites to let their viewers know how they go about collecting, use, divulge, and protecting the personal of the people who visit, use, or shop on their websites.
Through these policies, businesses let their website visitors know what personal data they gather and save and if it is kept, deleted, shared, or if it is sold to other businesses. Through the posting of clear privacy policies businesses are able to establish trust and credibility with their customer base who will feel that their private information is secure in the businesses’ hands and being used properly by them.

How does having a privacy policy protect your website?

Two of the key aspects of online privacy policies are that they explain how customer’s personal information is going to be secured and that they also relay to customers that your business cares about them and their privacy. These reasons are important in because they help to attract business to your website. There is however a third major business benefit to having a privacy policy, and that is that such policies can offer certain legal protections to website owners.
A good privacy policy will outline how a website will gather and use the private data of its users, and it will also have provisions designed to limit the liability of website owners in the event that something unfortunate like a privacy or data breach occurs. For instance a privacy policy could both explain how data would be kept, stored, and used and also have a clause limiting a website owners liability in the unfortunate even that there ever was a data breach. Such protections are of the utmost importance and should be considered by all business website owners as a means of protecting their businesses and limiting potential court actions.

How to get a privacy policy to protect your website?

You can pay an experienced lawyer to write a custom-made online privacy policy for your website, but keep in mind that the fee for the policy could end up being a couple hundred dollars, for just the one document.
What if you can’t pay those kinds of lawyer’s fees? There is an affordable alternative to quickly make your own privacy policy quickly without the expense of hiring a lawyer: Website Legal Forms Generator Software.

What are Website Legal Forms?

Website legal forms are template documents (typically written by attorneys) for a wide variety of the kind of legal documents website owners typically need for their websites, for instance website privacy policies and website terms and conditions, which business owners can buy affordable licenses to and use to quickly create versions of those legal documents for their own websites. For instance a website owner could use a privacy policy website legal form to put together a privacy policy for posting on their businesses’ website. Traditionally legal forms templates were printed documents in published books but it is becoming more and more common for them to instead be sold and created through licenses to software or web services online.

What are the benefits of Website Legal Forms ?

While legal documents created through the use of website legal forms are never going to be as precisely tailored to an individual business website’s situation as a document prepared by an attorney, they will get the job done affordably and quickly for a lot less than a lawyer would charge. Business owners who buy an affordable license to a website legal forms software suite can quickly create all of the document and policies their website needs, often for less than the cost of having just one of those forms drafted by an internet attorney.
Also, while it is illegal to practice law without a license (i.e. being an attorney) there is nothing wrong with using legal forms yourself to prepare documents for your own businesses’ website because that does not count as “practicing law” as you are doing it for your own business. You would not however be able to use website legal forms to create documents for another business or website because that would count as practicing law without a license. However, that other business could also easily get a license to website legal form software and create their own forms.

How do you get easy access to Website Legal Forms?

You can easily get quick and affordable access to website legal forms and begin preparing your own versions of the legal documents you need without the expense of hiring a lawyer through the use of Website Legal Forms Generator Software.

Fast Track To Privacy Policies

Mike Young · July 16, 2013 ·

What are privacy policies?

A privacy policy is a legal document businesses put up on their websites to let visitors know how they go about collecting, use, divulge, and protecting the personal of the people who visit, use, or shop on their websites.
Through these policies businesses let their visitors know what information they collect and whether or not they keep it, delete it, share it with their partners, or sell it to other companies. Through the posting of clear privacy policies businesses establish trust and credibility with their customer base who will feel that their private information is secure in the businesses’ hands and being used properly by them.

Why should websites have privacy policies?

You want a privacy policy for both business and security reasons. From a business standpoint you want a privacy policy because internet privacy and security is one of the biggest concerns today for internet consumers who worry about who sees their data, how that data is used, and who will end up seeing and having access to their data. Every good privacy policy will help to attract business because after reading your policy potential customers will feel safe carrying out transactions on your website. You’ll probably even get added benefit because your happy and secure customers will tend to talk up your business to those they know, possibly earning you even more customers.
A privacy policy that explains to customers how their personal information will be protected also lets them know that you care about their privacy and security. Showing customers that you will protect and safeguard their information through your businesses’ privacy policy is an excellent way of letting them know you care about and respect their security and privacy. By making that clear to potential customers you help turn them into paying customers and attract their business and possibly additional business they might refer to you.

How can website owners quickly get their own privacy policies?

You could call up an internet lawyer and tell him or her to drop everything because you need a privacy policy ASAP, but in that case you should also be prepared to pay quite a bit extra on top of the hundreds of dollars such a policy would usually cost.
Alternatively, if you can’t pay those kinds of lawyer’s fees you can still quickly and affordably make your own privacy policy quickly without the expense of hiring a lawyer through the use of Website Legal Forms Generator Software.
