Firstly, what exactly is a privacy policy? A privacy policy refers to a statement or a legal document that discloses some or all of the ways a party gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client’s data. A privacy policy fulfills a legal requirement to protect a customer or client’s privacy. Not only businesses but websites also need to put up a privacy policy so as to leverage its benefits. Let’s take a look at some points that show the importance of privacy policy for websites:

1. Privacy policy is a part of the law:

These days it is mandatory to display a privacy policy in almost every state and country, as well as several state-sponsored organizations. They require an explanation as to what you plan to do with your visitors’ and customers’ personal data if you collect, store, or share personal data like emails, names, or payment info.

2. It leads to customers’ contentment:

Once the individuals know what exactly you plan to do with their personal information, they feel relaxed, show more interest in your site and stay there for a longer time. When you provide a detailed explanation of your plans regarding your plans of further implementation of the personally identifiable information provided by the individuals, they tend to trust you more and may even refer their friends and knowns to join your website.

3. Sometimes it is required to meet third party requirements:

As a matter of fact, companies like Google and Apple require that you display a privacy policy on your website. When you’re not planning on personally collecting sensitive personal data, using a third-party service to collect data or display ads, like with Google Analytics or Adsense means that you’re collecting personal information. Moreover it implies that the user has a right to be informed.
