I'm setting up a German site that will contain AdSense but don't want to screw up my account. The thing is none of the German sites I checked seems to have a Privacy policy or anything similar. Can someone explain if the rules are different for German sites or is there something instead of the Policy I should include into my site.
Many people miss to make available the privacy policy Google request regardless where they live. I guess Adsense manages so many sites that cannot look into each one but you will always be at risk if you fail to have such policy. Or in other words, if a lot of people in your country got and drop themselves into a trashcan there is no reason you do the same, plus a privacy policy doesn't hurt anyone but benefits your site instead.
I know and I have no problems with it. In English it's easy, I just use one of the Privacy Policy generators, but no such thing exists in German AFAIK.
