Website Privacy Policy

There are legal restrictions, which vary by country, on what you may and may not do with personal data. Customers may also have strong views on how you use their data. For these reasons, websites, which capture any type of data about the people who visit them, should have a clearly stated privacy policy. The website should have a clearly visible link to this policy. You should think carefully before writing a policy, because, once written it is important to obey it.

This is a guide on how to develop suitable "Privacy Policy" for your website. The sample "Privacy Policy" in this document has been supplied by The Irish Internet Association (IIA), and was developed by the IIA Legal Working Group. This "Privacy Policy" is usually only available to members on the members area of the IIA website, along with other useful documents.
