The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Privacy Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific privacy policies you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors.

Privacy Policy - the basics
Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy.
Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location.
What to include in the Privacy Policy
En términos generales, una Política de Privacidad a menudo aborda este tipo de cuestiones: los tipos de información que el sitio web recopila y la forma en que recopila los datos; una explicación sobre por qué el sitio web recopila este tipo de información; cuáles son las prácticas del sitio web al compartir la información con terceros; formas en que sus visitantes y clientes pueden ejercer sus derechos de acuerdo con la legislación de privacidad pertinente; las prácticas específicas con respecto a la recopilación de datos de menores; y mucho, mucho más.
