Privacy Policy Template
On a website, a privacy policy acts as a legal notice which sets out what personal information and other data is retained by the website from visitors as well as how the website will process and disclose that personal information and data to third parties, if at all.
Our website Privacy Policy template is one of a number of Website Contracts that we stock and is ideal for use on any non ecommerce website and can be easily customised to suit your requirements. A Privacy Policy is a way of making clear your position regarding users' information.
There is great concern over the security of personal information and data given online as many fraudsters abuse the online community to commit identity theft and similar crimes against internet users. This is why a Privacy Policy is helpful to a business because it sets out how and why information will be collected and how such information will be passed on to third parties to enable users of your website to undertand that their privacy is protected. By having a comprehensive privacy policy in place that is highly visible on your website you will be giving your visitors peace of mind and protecting your company against legal claims. The Privacy Policy will explain to users that your company has the utmost respect for their privacy and that your business is committed to keeping their information safe.

Clauses in our Privacy Policy Template
The Privacy Policy contains standard clauses that should always be included. The Privacy Policy must include a statement to confirm that you will protect users' privacy wherever possible. It must also include an explanation of the information that you will collect and store, as well as why and how your company will use it.
There is an in-depth section on the use of cookies and how and when they may be used. The template tells the customer that they have the right to decline acceptance of the Privacy Policy and if so, that they should refrain from using the website. In this way the Privacy Policy functions to protect your website and your users because everything is in writing for the user to accept or decline before using the website.
