Creating a Privacy Policy Continues..
Let's take a look at what we accomplished so far:
Sample Privacy Policy
Purpose: To define privacy expectations of visitors to the ArielSilverstone.com website.
What We Collect and How
We respect the privacy of our visitors. We generally do not collect personally-identifying information on this website. We do, however:
a) Employ certain automated tools that collect statistical information visitors to our site.
b) Provide you with the option to leave comments, or contact us, by entering your email address and, optionally, other contact information as you may choose to share with us.
c) From time to time, we may offer you to opportunity to participate in surveys or polls, and we may be provided with such information as you choose to provide us.
Cookies
In general, we do not use persistent cookies, unless you request that our site remember you. Other cookies that we use are session based and expire or set to be deleted when you close your browser window or restart your computer. Our cookies are not made to be read by other sites, and maybe refused by setting your browser options to do so. Refusing some cookies may alter your site experience, and especially movement between pages that require authentication. We do not use the values stored in cookies for any other purpose beyond those declared above, in the What we collect section.
Today we will discuss calling out disclosure and sharing of collected information.
One of the main reasons to create a privacy policy and to make it public is the individual's right to know. As you can see in my International or USA Privacy Laws pages depending on your jurisdiction, the individual's right to know what you may collect about them may be a legal requirement. In other places, this right may be more under your discretion, but I would still suggest taking an open approach. I would caution you, however, by the following two rules:
Ariel’s Privacy Rule #4: If you disclose what you collect, make sure you disclose everything.
While this might not seem important, I find that in a litigious society, such as ours, a collection of data that does not report every item may encourage such litigation.
And, my next rule, and for a similar reason:
Ariel’s Privacy Rule #5: If you disclose what you do with the data collected, make sure you disclose every single possibility.
So let us add to our emerging policy and let it read now:
