Privacy Policy Template

What is the privacy policy template?

The Privacy Policy template helps create transparency by disclosing how a website collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects user data, the purposes for doing so, and the rights of the users in that regard.

How do I use it?

The template provides the outline and content of a basic privacy policy. Customize this policy according to your business needs to document how you collect and process customer data and what rights they have in order to make changes or opt-out. 

Value to the organization:

While there isn’t a US Federal law yet, most states within the US require that any organization that has a public website have a privacy policy. These laws require you to inform users about what data you collect and how it’s used, stored, and protected. Additionally, under the new EU GDPR legislation, it’s also necessary that your privacy policy inform users of their rights with regard to their data. The disclosures should be transparent, easily understandable, comprehensive, and up-to-date. Failure to meet regulatory requirements can result in hefty fines.

What control does it satisfy?

Completing this template helps satisfy the following controls: 

CUST-19
