    Every website should have a privacy policy disclosing what information your site collects about its users.
    You are required to have a privacy policy to use programmes such as Google AdSense

    This Privacy Policy generator can generate a privacy policy for your website without having to higher a lawyer. It will cover most websites and is compatible with programmes such as Google AdSense.

    to generate your own Privacy Policy visit:

    Thanks for sharing, there are also a lot of places that offer free templates to get you started that you can customize for your own site, you can find them by googling. I agree that all sites need a privacy policy, but it seems many sites overlook that important step.

    To play devil's advocate: So what can happen if you don't have a privacy policy? Anyone have any specific information of a case where a webmaster was held liable for damages due to lack of a privacy policy? I don't know of any.

    I guess it is required by Google if you are using adsense in your site.

    This is true, but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

    Many programs like adsense require a privacy policy, If you dont have one and you tried to get a cheque from Google and they find no Privacy Policy on your site, theyll confiscate your funds.

    I had a look at his, Mine is a more general Policy than his, It covers more things, his is a bit too specific.

    If you were a host,you could use my Privacy Policy,if your a blogger you can use mine too, you can use it for pretty much any site.

    With alex_d1's you can really only use it for blogs.

    I don't plan on making this very big, I only really wanted to provide it as a free service to my hosting clients, and I just felt like sharing it with you guys, and Its good that some of you used it :)
