New privacy laws in the US and EU not only require that you have a privacy policy posted on your website, but also require that it include specific legal terms. 

If you borrowed your privacy policy from a friend, or wrote your own a few years ago, it probably is not compliant with current legal requirements.  And that could mean huge financial penalties for your business.

You'll receive your policy by email in Word format for easy customization. You'll also have lifetime access to download our most current version by signing in to our online platform.
