When constructing a readable Privacy Policy, standard wording for privacy elements should be provided so that users easily understand the policy.

This topic privides a few of those standard statements that can be placed in the policy and explains what they mean.

Consumers are wary about providing identifying information over the internet. When it comes to providing information dealing with bank accounts, credit cards, and health issues they can be very cautious because this information can affect many things and can lead to identity theft. When information like this is collected, the privacy policy should state the safeguards in place to ensure data is not compromised or is being transmitted in a manner other parties can intercept. The description should include terms such as data encryption and SSL technology.
