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.

Updated Legal & Policies Available for Website Legal Forms Generator Pro and Pro Plus

Mike Young · April 4, 2013 ·

On April 4, 2013, we released an updated Legal & Policies (version 2 – English & Spanish) and Privacy Policy (version 2 – Spanish) for Website Legal Forms Generator Pro and Pro Plus members to use on their websites.

WHAT’S CHANGED?

In addition to generating all of the key website legal forms most websites need, here’s what’s new…

1. Updates were made to the “Legal & Policies” (English Version 2) document to cover these issues on your website:

California’s anti-spam law
Cyber-bullying and Internet harassment
The FTC’s new Business Opportunity Rule

2. There’s also a Spanish version of the updated “Legal & Policies” document (Spanish Version 2). If your site has Spanish on it, or you have website visitors whose primary language is Spanish, this is a great way to reduce your legal risks on that front.

3. New Spanish version of the updated “Privacy Policy” (Spanish Version 2) that covers Google’s requirements for disclosing interest-based advertising, remarketing and other advertising and tracking issues.

HOW DO YOU GET THE UPDATED FORMS?

You must be a Pro Plus (premium) member to access these updates.

Simply log into your account at http://LegalFormsGenerator.com/login

There is a video tutorial available at http://LegalFormsGenerator.com/wlfg-tutorials explaining in depth how to update your forms.

Pro Plus members can click a link to update the Privacy Policy for one website at a time or they can click a link that updates the Privacy Policy for every one of their websites.

Pro Plus members get unlimited access to updates to website legal forms. In addition, Pro Plus members also can update forms in a few seconds by clicking a “update” link. Once the link is clicked, the website legal documents we host for them are automatically updated. If they use the link hosted by us, the link doesn't change so no need to hunt down all the places you've saved it. The link is created once and all future updates use the same link.

If a Pro Plus member chooses to host the website legal forms (i.e. they copied the forms using the “HTML” or “Text” features and uploaded them manually to their site(s), after they’ve clicked the update link, they would simply use the same process to upload the new Privacy Policy to each site.

If you’re interested in upgrading to Pro Plus and are already a Pro (basic) member, be sure to log in and click the upgrade link.

If you have an older downloadable version of the software (prior to January 2012), let me know as the login will NOT work for you since that is part of an old system.

Sincerely,

-Sara

Privacy Policy Changes

Mike Young · May 11, 2012 ·

What should you do when your website privacy policy changes?

Your site’s privacy policy should explain in detail how you handle modifications and updates.

How will you notify website visitors that you have changed your privacy policy? What will you do if someone objects to the changes and you have collected information from them prior to making the alterations?

Who should they contact with questions or concerns about website privacy policy changes? What method should they use to get in touch with you?

These are just some of the issues that your privacy policy needs to address to reduce your risk of getting sued for violating someone’s privacy rights.
