INTRODUCTION

What is a Privacy Policy?

A Privacy Policy is a legal document that outlines how a business collects, uses, discloses, and manages the personal information of its users or customers. It serves as a transparent communication tool, informing users about their data rights and the measures taken to protect their information. Having a comprehensive Privacy Policy is not only a best practice but also a legal requirement under various data protection laws.

WHY IS A PRIVACY POLICY IMPORTANT?

Increase your credibility in the market

When users become aware that safe practices are being followed by any service provider, it increases their faith. In such a situation, they might also recommend your services to others. Hence, if you have a fully compliant privacy policy, it makes the user trust you more.

Makes your website/app compliant with the existing laws

More than 120 countries across the globe have their Data privacy laws. Hence, when you are running an online business, it becomes very important to comply with the laws applicable to you. Non-Compliance often leads to heavy penalties and strict consequences.

To comply with Third – Party requirements

Third parties that are stakeholders in your business such as investors, Google, Amazon, etc. might ask to see whether you’re compliant or not.

Avoid lawsuits

Users from all over the world have access to your e-commerce platform. In such a scenario, protecting yourself from claims of unauthorized third-party access to anyone’s data can be extremely difficult. The privacy policy for an e-commerce website can protect you from such claims.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE PRIVACY POLICY?

An online privacy policy must include the following details:

Basic information of the business;
Details of Information collected from users;
The purpose of collecting information;
Storage of Information collected;
Security Measures to protect the information and
Mention third – parties that shall have access to the information – if any.

LAWS GOVERNING PRIVACY POLICY

IN INDIA

There is no standalone act in India that governs data privacy. However, Article 21 of the Indian Constitution is also inclusive of the right to privacy. Apart from this, the Information Technology Act (2000) along with Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 also provide guidelines on data privacy in India.

IN EUROPEAN UNION

Any organization around the Globe, which provides online services to EU countries is required to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

IN THE US

The California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) is applicable for the protection of the personal data of all the citizens of California. Even if you are an entity functioning out of America, you need to follow the CCPA policy to comply with the laws, if you collect the personal information of the citizens of California.
