A privacy policy is an article published on a company’s website that shows how data about a customer is collected, stored, and distributed to other people. Most sites have privacy policies because they increase the trust a person has with the company. A customer expects a company to protect their personal information because the leaking can compromise their private life. On the company’s side, if private data falls into the wrong hands, the website will be liable to many legal cases, and they might also get their license revoked and may no longer operate. It is, therefore, important to uphold the utmost privacy and respect for personal information people agree to let a website have and use.
