Privacy Policy - the basics
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
What to include in the Privacy Policy
En términos generales, una Política de Privacidad suele abordar este tipo de cuestiones: el tipo de información que recopila el sitio web y la forma en que la recopila; una explicación de por qué el sitio web recopila este tipo de información; cuáles son las prácticas del sitio web con respecto a compartir la información con terceros; las formas en que sus visitantes y clientes pueden ejercer sus derechos de acuerdo con la legislación de privacidad pertinente; las prácticas específicas con respecto a la recopilación de datos de menores; y mucho, mucho más.
