Did You Know? The Law Requires Website Owners to Have a Properly Drafted Privacy Policy Posted on Their Website.
→ If you're using one of the many free privacy policies or plugins from the Internet, it's almost certain your privacy policy is in violation of current privacy laws.
→ The majority of website and blog owners are violating United States or global privacy laws.
Are you adequately protecting yourself from legal liability you might face from running your website? Do you know which website disclaimers and policies you must post on your site to protect yourself and comply with new laws? If not, you are not alone.
The rapid growth of the Internet has led regulatory agencies from major countries to pass tougher privacy policy and disclosure laws for people who own a website, blog, or mobile application.
These new laws have led to an increase in fines and lawsuits for business owners because they have outdated, poorly drafted privacy policies, as well as the lack of disclosures posted on their website or in their mobile application.
Your Website is a Contract Between You and Your Users
Your website or blog is fundamentally a contract between you, your customers, your users, and your visitors. You are accountable for the content that you put on your website or blog. Consequently you open yourself to fines and lawsuits for things like:
- Posting copyrighted content that belongs to others
- Not following your privacy policy guidelines
- Not complying with your terms of use
- Posting defamatory content about individuals or companies
- Posting wrong or inaccurate information
- Not telling website visitors if you get paid for product reviews
- The harm a customer suffers from a product purchased on your website
- Not disclosing that you are an affiliate for another company
The Importance of Properly Drafted Website Documents
If properly drafted, website policies, agreements, and disclaimers are effective in defending you against lawsuits and will usually hold up in court.
However, you should be aware that many courts (including those in California) consider invalid the language stating that once a privacy policy or terms and conditions are agreed to, a website can change them at any time without notifying past users.
What does this mean? It means the privacy policy and terms and conditions must be agreed to every time you change them, or an email must be sent notifying users that if they place an order or otherwise use the site, the new privacy policy or terms and conditions apply.
Another area to be aware of is the use of personal or financial information, especially information belonging to third parties. Specific federal and state laws govern this type of information.
Sending The Right Message to Your Users
Good website documentation sends a positive message to your customers, visitors, and members. It indicates that you care about your relationship with them and are willing to post it openly on your website or blog.
Website disclaimers and privacy policies are an affordable means of protecting you from liability and helping ensure that you comply with current Internet laws that govern websites.
