Each site has its own criteria for a privacy policy. Some give full protection including encryption of passwords and not
providing your information to any third party while others tell you that your information will be shared with affiliated
companies or businesses they feel you would be interested in hearing from. You must read the policy to be aware of the
steps being taken to protect yourself.
When a business is requesting personal information it is reasonable to ask what information is collected and why it is
needed. If they request information that doesn’t seem relevant they should state why they need it.
If there is no explanation for the request try to avoid giving the additional information or ask them why they need it.
Asking for your income or the name of your spouse is the kind of information you might question providing without
reasonable cause.
Terms & Conditions Page!
Website terms and conditions are important for any blogger or web designer to have as they set out the necessary legal
notices for visitors to a website. Also known as website terms of use, or website terms of service, they will usually
include various disclaimers and also specify what is expected of visitors.
Important Stuff to Be Included
As with website privacy policies, the terms and conditions for a blog or website will need to match the intended use of
the blog or website. There are certain key things which these documents should be included as a matter of course, but
there is other stuff which may be optional.
This list includes a number of things which should probably be included in the terms and conditions for most blogs:
? a statement that people using the website will be bound by the terms and conditions (so they are effective);
? a disclaimer and limitation of liability statement (to reduce the risk that visitors will be able to sue the blog
owner);
? a statement which discusses links to and from external sites, and outlines that affiliate links may be used;
? a clause which identifies the local law applicable in determining any disputes under the terms and conditions;
? a paragraph regarding the conduct of visitors on the site; and
? a statement outlining the intellectual property arrangements, and permitted uses of blog materials.
There are and can be more elements added, please consult a legal representative if you are unsure.
