Paysite Success
Lesson #20 
Creating a Privacy Policy
Written By Titmowse
Every web site should contain a privacy policy, especially sites that conduct financial transactions. Adult paysites collect very personal information from their members and affiliate webmasters. A privacy policy will inform those affected parties about what is done with that sensitive data. Privacy policies protect you and your clients.
When one goes about posting a privacy policy on a paysite, there are three ways to do it. A site owner can write their own privacy policy. They can pay a lawyer to compose the text for a privacy policy. The paysite operator has the third option of using software or web resources that generate privacy policies. Your choice on how you approach the creation of your paysite's privacy policy is dependent on you and your abilities.

Privacy policies are more than some legal mumbo-jumbo designed to make a web site appear professional.
Recently a well-publicized online toy store was taken to court because they defied the terms on their own privacy policy. They sold the personal data of their customers to companies (not mentioned in their privacy policy) in order to make money when they went out of business. However you choose to create your paysite’s privacy policy, the task must be done.
A paysite owner has an obligation to their members and affiliates. A posted privacy policy fulfills that obligation.
