A Legal Disclaimer
The information on this page is provided for general guidance only. It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.

Privacy Policy - The Basics
A Privacy Policy explains how a website or business collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information from its visitors and customers. It outlines what data is gathered, why it is needed, and how it will be handled. It also shows your commitment to keeping customer information safe and describes the steps you take to protect privacy.
Different regions and countries have their own privacy laws, so it is important to ensure your policy meets the requirements that apply in your area.
What to Include in the Privacy Policy
A clear Privacy Policy should explain what types of personal information the website collects—such as names, contact details, addresses, service requests, and basic website usage data—and how this information is collected through forms, messages, bookings, cookies, or analytics tools. It should also describe why the information is needed, including providing services, sending quotes or invoices, responding to enquiries, and improving the website. The policy should outline how the information is stored and protected, who it may be shared with (such as invoicing systems or when required by law), and how customers can access, update, or request deletion of their data. It should also mention that the business does not intentionally collect information from minors. Overall, this section helps visitors understand how their information is handled and what rights they have.
