Privacy Policy
A Privacy Policy is a statement that tells some or all of the ways how a website/blog gathers, uses, and manages visitor's data. In simple words, it is a document/page that discloses information about how your website/blog collects information from visitors and what you do with that information.
Why is it needed?
Every blog, website, forum must include a privacy policy page in-order to tell your visitors that you consider their
privacy to the utmost. This will enhance your site reputation. Also Google has clearly stated that every blog/website that publishes the adsense ads must include a privacy policy page. So, it is compulsory for every website/blog.
