Can't I copy TOS & Privacy from other sites & use it in my site?

    I've taken Yahoo Privacy statement and modified for my site. Now when I apply my site for Adsense approval will Google reject on this basis of "copied" material?
    I don't have anything else "copied", I think legal templates such as TOS, Privacy may have no issues wrt copyright.

    It has nothing to do with your Privacy Policy, I believe that it has to do with the posts on your site itself.

    If you copy it, make sure you change it so it's appropriate to your site.. A long time ago i made a post here and offered other people to copy their privacy statement from mine (before the automated privacy-page generators were around) and some clown copied and pasted it and didnt even bother to read it and change the references to MY site to his own..

    If you have original,quality posts,copied privacy should not be a problem.
