If you haven’t updated your website privacy policy recently, chances are parts of it are inaccurate. And you may even be breaking the law.
Which law?
That’s a good question because many states have passed new data privacy laws and enacted related regulations. Unless you’re an experienced Internet lawyer, it’s highly unlikely you’re able to keep up with what should be included and omitted from your website legal documents.
Let’s face it…
Your privacy policy, terms of use, and refund policy do the bulk of the heavy lifting in protecting your site. Now, there will likely be other legal documents (e.g., a subscription agreement). However, these three are the foundation to reducing your risks of getting sued or even criminally prosecuted because of your website.
Should you use a form template for your site? It might be better than nothing. Yet it’s unlikely to be accurate, current, or complete.
So, if you want to reduce your risk of lawsuits or government investigations, a good place to start is to schedule a phone consultation with Internet Business Lawyer Mike Young to discuss updating your site’s privacy policy and other legal documents.
