Privacy Policy, Do you have that in your site? Very Important New TOC of Google

Hello,

As we all know as of Google TOC we have to add a new privacy policy in our website. Can one here create a privacy policy and put it here, so that everyone can make use of it. It is not that am lazy to create one, but I really do not know how to put it according to their terms. So I request any here to do that and help the poor publishers like me.

Thanks.

 

How about this:

 

I found this one....

Tracking

I don't directly track your presence on this website. Your IP address is logged and I look at the server logs on occasion, but this is in an aggregate fashion for the purpose of determining why people come to Cyclelicio.us. What I'm most interested in specifically are two things: The websites that link to Cyclelicious and send traffic here, and what keywords people use to find Cyclelicious via search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Links and comments

If you leave a link in a comment, I'll probably follow the link, even if the link is a Blogger.com profile. I'm assuming you want me to find you if you make your contact information easily findable.

Cookies

I don't directly set cookies from Cyclelicio.us, but I do run a number of scripts from providers such as Google, Haloscan, and Blogger. All of these set web browser cookies. Google in particular quietly collects a tremendous amount of data on your browsing habits, and Cyclelicious participates in that data collection. If that bugs you, please drop me a line to let me know how you feel about this and I'll consider removing Google's service.

i've read that too..

Do you think that's what kind of privacy policy that google is looking?

 

I think this is a good one.

 

It is all fair and well that google state publishers must include a privacy policy... but they don't give us the information they want us to display - so who knows whether publishers could still get banned for not having an adequate privacy policy as they would be deemed to not follow the TOS.

It is impossible for publishers to know every possible site that will be placing web beacons or collecting information for users and technically it will mean every single adsense publisher is violating the TOS - I doubt Google want to ban all publishers, but it is in their TOS that we disclose 3rd party sites... we should know WHICH 3rd party sites so that our users can visit each one of them and determine whether THEIR information is going to be abused or not.

Visitors would need to know every site that collects information about their use of our site before using our site, otherwise what is the point in even telling people that information is collected - but we don't have a clue who collects it apart from Google?

I doubt whether something like this would be suitable:

 

take a look at youtube-s privacy policy. i think it's the best since it's in google's backyard: http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy

 

Where is it mentioned in the adsense TOS... please let me know

So is that a full disclosure that would satisfy the new Adsense TOS?
If it is, then we would need to include both - unless other ad-networks etc are also able to collect through web beacons etc.

 

How about sites using blogger? Since Google owns it do we have to make a privacy policy?

 

I think we would likely need to add a link on each individual blog maybe... the best thing is probably to ask Google to confirm how they want it done for blogger blogs.

 

i already had simple privacy policy.
