To be truly comprehensive, a company’s privacy policy should include ALL of the company’s privacy-related terms and disclosures. Though that might seem fairly obvious, what’s less obvious is the need to ensure that there aren’t privacy-related terms and disclosures scattered throughout the company’s other agreements and policies. This is for two reasons:
- Users and customers should be able to look to a company’s privacy policy to understand everything about how the company handles their data.
- Having stray privacy-related terms or disclosures in other agreements (like a terms of use agreement) puts the company at risk of having conflicting obligations or making promises that it isn’t actually keeping.
