What is a Privacy Policy

A Privacy Policy is one of the most important documents for your online business, regardless of where you operate from; website, mobile app, and so on. A privacy policy explains to the users of your business what personal information you are collecting about them, how are you collecting it, and what you will do with that information, including how and if it will be shared with third parties and where it will be stored and the security measures that you will take to protect that information, from unwarranted usage.

A Privacy Policy gives an understanding of the rules that are followed while handling a user’s data and the method in which it will be managed. Having a well-drafted privacy policy ensures that no user can take undue advantage of you for no reason.
A Privacy Policy must include the type of personal information you collect, how you collect that information, why you collect that personal information, and how it will be used. It should also mention how that data will be stored and if it will be shared with anyone, information about your use of cookies, how users can opt-out of data collection, your contact information.
