There are many reasons why you need Privacy Policies:

• Avoid massive fines from the government
• Limit your liability
• Keep control of your website
• Protect your intellectual-property
• Ensure legitimacy to your website visitors

Write a Privacy Policy… How?

We can help you with getting a Privacy Policy uploaded to your website that automatically updates.

Remember, Any website you build that collects as little as an email address on a contact form is collecting ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII). States across America are proposing privacy laws to protect its citizens and their PII. The problem is that citizens visit websites that are located beyond state lines. That means most businesses that collect PII via their website will need a Privacy Policy that is updated as these bills become laws.
