Need for Privacy Policies Part Two

We hope that you have at least started putting ideas together for a privacy policy. We previously covered several reasons explaining why you should have a privacy policy on your website and what it should include.

Part One: Need for Privacy Policies

Privacy is a big issue, especially for Web users. Because it is becoming an increasingly big problem, you as a small business owner need to build a trusting relationship with your customers and visitors from the very beginning.

Privacy & Security Issues Your Customers Care About

Your website’s privacy information and security settings can be significant hurdles when it comes to gaining trust with your visitors. Establishing trust is paramount to enticing visitors to make that final commitment, whether that be making a purchase, choosing to provide their info, or simply making initial contact with you.

Does Your Business Have A Privacy Policy?

All the experts tell you to have a privacy policy, so I will tell you that, too. (Otherwise I have to turn in my expert union card.) But there are two problems I often see with privacy policies. Small companies often don't bother and big companies have them written by their lawyers. Between the two, people don't always get the information they need and they end up being mildly suspicious of what your company is doing.
