Privacy Policy is a statement that explains what kinds of personal information you collect from your website visitors and how you use this. If you collect personal information like names, email addresses, IP addresses, session activity, and payment details, we recommend including a complete privacy policy section or page on your website. Please follow the steps below to learn how:
Go to the components section. Click on the Privacy Policy category and pick the component you like.
Everything in the components is customizable. You can change the colors, styles, images and type your own text.
Before you write a privacy policy notice, we recommend seeking legal advice to ensure it meets all legal requirements. However, here are the most important topics you should consider while creating your website’s privacy policy.
Disclose the type of personal information your website collects, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, and so forth. Also, clarify that the amount of information they provide is completely voluntary.
Give a detailed explanation of how you store and use the personal information you’ve collected. Your privacy policy should further describe when and how you may share user information with third-party services.
If your website uses cookies, web beacons, or any other tracking tools, clearly explain what tools they are and what personal information they store.
Your privacy policy notice should detail how long the stored information will be kept. You should also explain what will happen to the information when you have no ongoing need to process it.
Let your visitors know that you are liable to make updates from time to time and that you will notify them about the changes.
Your visitors should know where and how to contact you if any questions or concerns arise about the privacy policy notice. Your privacy policy should include accurate contacts such as email address, phone number, postal address, etc.
