What is a Privacy Policy?

IT CAN HELP YOU AVOID FINES AND LAWSUITS
 

Currently, there are four laws in the United States and the European Union that require most websites that collect personal information to have a Privacy Policy:

• European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR);
• The California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA);
• The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); and
• Nevada's Revised Statues Chapter 603A and SB220.

These laws were created to protect the consumers of those states and countries, not the businesses. This means that these laws can apply to businesses outside of those states and countries and may apply to you if you collect the personal information of or enter into transactions with consumers from the European Union, California or Nevada.

NEW PRIVACY BILLS AND THEIR EFFECT
 

Several states have proposed privacy bills that, if passed, would require websites that collect personal information to have a compliant Privacy Policy. These bills all have different requirements for the disclosures that need to be made in a Privacy Policy and would impose heavy fines for failing to include those disclosures. In fact, some states are proposing to allow consumers to sue businesses directly for not having a compliant Privacy Policy.

• Fines for violations of privacy laws start at $2,500 per violation (per website visitor).
