Welcome to Internet Law Radio. I am Attorney Enrico Schaefer and I specialize in internet law, we represent clients across the world on a variety of internet legal issues, things that arise on the web, and we handle clients from website operators on through to people who are interacting with websites. Today, we’re talking about privacy policy drafting and what needs to be included in a privacy policy on a particular website, typically found in the terms of service (TOS) or terms of use (TOU) area of a website.
Essentially, you want to think of a privacy policy for a website as legal document which not only protects the website owner, but also provides notice and clarity and transparency to the website visitors, to the people that come to that website, so that they can feel safe and secure about how their information, how their data is being used by the website operator. So, essentially, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses to the users the way information is going to be gathered, the way information is going to be used, how client or customer data is going to be stored and variety of related issues.
