Question 1

Why do I need a privacy policy statement?

Accepted Answer

Unlike with website terms, privacy policies may be required by law in the region where you operate. In any case, it’s best practice to have a data protection privacy policy, especially if you collect any sort of private data from your users (e.g. payment details, address and phone number, cookie data).
Additionally, you may need a privacy policy to use third-party APIs and services like Instagram, or to list your app in a commercial marketplace like Google Play.

Question 2

Why do I need a terms of service statement?

Accepted Answer

Strictly speaking, you don’t need a terms of service statement. It’s not required by law, but it’s generally wise to include one on your site to cover the expectations and agreements between you and your users. Some organisations may even request you make one available before you can enter into a relationship with them.
Most of the time, site owners and users behave in a fair and reasonable fashion, making your terms & conditions info redundant. However, in unusual circumstances, such as those involving abuse, intellectual property theft or unlawful behaviour, having your terms & conditions stated explicitly can offer basic protections for you and your business by limiting your liability and clarifying your rights over the content you publish.

Question 3

What is a Website privacy policy?

Accepted Answer

Websites sometimes collect information about their visitors for content publishing, analytics, promotional or contact purposes. It's good practice to let your users know how you store and use their data. Whether you run a static site or a site powered by Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace or any other content management system, you can use GetTerms.io to generate a generic privacy policy to share with your users.
If your website engages users in the European Economic Area, you may be obliged to publish a GDPR Compliant privacy policy. Of course, it takes more than just a privacy policy to be fully GDPR-compliant, but a clear and concise privacy policy outlining how and why you collect personal information is a good place to start.

Do I have to give credit when using a GetTerms.io policy?
