If you answered no to this or have no idea what a Privacy Policy is, please read on. This is a long one so bear with me.

Data privacy is a very big deal and having a current Privacy Policy super important.

Privacy laws exist to protect the personal information of individuals online.
As soon as you fill out a contact form on a website, privacy laws can kick in.

Under the Australian Privacy Act, for example, some website operators are required to have privacy policies that contain very specific disclosures.
Even though this law was passed a while ago, there have been a lot of complaints from consumers.

Do you know if you need to comply with Australiaโ€™s privacy law?

Do you receive website traffic outside of Australia which may require you to comply with additional privacy laws?

I had the same questions.

So, to be proactive about this issue, Iโ€™ve partnered up with a Privacy Policy generator called Termageddon.

Termageddon is a tool that will help you generate your policies and will even automatically update your website policies when the laws change (as well as notify you when changes are coming), and they do it at a fraction of the cost of a privacy lawyer.
