Privacy Policy
It is crucial that your site has a privacy policy. People
want to be reassured that you will not sell or distribute
any of their details and that you will not keep their payment
details (e.g. their credit card number on record.) Essentially,
a privacy policy adds to customer confidence which in turn
leads to more sales. You can write your own privacy policy,
but it is a lengthy process and it is very easy to miss
out important pieces. The best way to get a decent privacy
policy is to use software to create a template. Then go
over manually and make any modifications that are needed.
Another important point is to have a P3P compact privacy
policy. A P3P compact privacy policy is a machine-readable
privacy policy describing your company's privacy practices,
including the type of information collected, how the information
is used, and who has access to the information. Without
a P3P privacy policy programs that use cookies will not
work in Internet Explorer. So in other words if you want
your tracking software to work accurately you must have
a P3P compact privacy policy.
