Private policy

Privacy Policy for Blogger 

A Privacy Policy may also be required by laweven if not required by Blogger (BlogSpot) directly.

The Privacy Policy agreement is a legal agreement where you let your readers know:

• What personal information you collect from them,
• How you collect, use and store this personal information,
• Why you need this personal information, and
• If you let any third parties collect, use or store this personal information

Privacy clauses for a blog

A few examples of clauses that should be part of your blog’s Privacy Policy:

Information Collection And Use.

This is where you inform users what personal information is being collected and how that collected data is used.

• Log Data.
  Certain data is collected automatically by the web browser used by the reader (i.e. IP addresses, type of browsers such as Firefox or Chrome etc.) and through this clause, you inform the reader about this automatic collection of data.
• Cookies.
  This is also required by the EU Cookies Directive, but also by many third parties that you may end up using for your blog, such as Google AdSense, Google AdWords, and others.
• • Links To Other Sites.
    This clause is usually used by individuals and companies to inform that their websites will contain links to other websites that are not controlled or owned by them.
  Even if you don’t collect, use or store any personal information from your readers, having a Privacy Policy on your blog still comes with a huge benefit. With privacy issues being more important than ever these days, users are considering Privacy Policies a sign of trustworthiness.
  If you don’t collect, use or store personal data, let users know that. Your Privacy Policy can be short and to the point, letting users know you don’t do anything with their data.
  Here’s an example from Ecquire that makes it really clear that they don’t have any of your data, and it’s done in a humorous way:

• Blogger (BlogSpot) requires Privacy Policy

  Blogger (BlogSpot) itself, through Google’s Terms of Service agreement or even through its own Content Policy, does not specificallyrequire you to have a Privacy Policy for your blog.
  However, if you sign-up for Google AdSense to show ads through your Blogger (BlogSpot) blogs then you’re required by Google AdSense program rules to have a Privacy Policy.
  Google AdSense triggers Privacy Policy requirement
  If you sign-up to use Google AdSense to show ads, Google states that you must include the following in your Privacy Policy:
  • Include information that third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your blog
  • Include information related to Google’s use of the DoubleClick cookie. This cookie enables Google to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your blog and/or another blog on the internet
  • Include information that users opt out of the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising by visiting Ad Settings page from Google.
