Writing a Privacy Policy for Your Online Business
Since your webstore will need to collect personal/private info to complete a sale, you should consider writing a Privacy Policy for your business. Having a written policy gives a customer confidence in purchasing from your website. The people over at Trust and Security Online seem to agree.
Having a privacy policy builds a large amount of trust in this area because:
- The customer will know what is going to happen to their information once they provide it to a company.
- The customer will learn what they need to do to keep themselves from getting any unnecessary newsletters, emails, or other unwanted material.
- The customer also knows where their information will be stored once they provide it to you.
Although there are a few Privacy Policy generators available to you, your best bet it is to clearly and simply state what you intend to do with customer information. We here at Webplus Shop indeed follow our own advice and have our own clear, short privacy policy.
Finally, to create a webpage for your Privacy Policy, use the Custom Page tools already built-in to your Webplus Shop store.
