I'm probably going to add one of these to my blog. Are the privacy policy and disclaimer the same thing? Should I just have one or....
depends on your site contents. normally it can go within one single place ut some times disclaimer can be separated if you want to play safe
Hey Cheece2001 - They are not the same thing. If you are selling a product or service or system which makes claims like "earn $3000 with this system", you need a disclaimer because ultimately, the purchaser may/may not make $3000. He/she may be lazy and skip steps in the system. If they then make only $5 they could come back and sue you for false advertising or something. A disclaimer/earnings disclaimer will cover you in instances like that. Privacy policy is needed if you gather any information from visitors to your site such as contact details (through an opt-in form) or if your site places cookies on their computer. Google likes when you have Privacy policy on a site that collects contact details. Hope that helps Sharoni
They're completely different things. It's a must to have them on your website especially if you're selling/re-selling a product (but not only) If your website collects certain information from users (such as credit card information/ telephone numbers / emails etc) then you need a Privacy Policy in place.
