FAQs

Do I need a Privacy Policy?

BBB Accreditation requires it, and if you collect personal data, you need a privacy policy. There are multiple laws that require privacy policies, as well as service providers that demand their users have privacy policies. For example, many Google services require you to have a privacy policy.

Put your privacy policy in easy-to-find places on your website. Some common places to put a privacy policy include: 

  • Website footer
