Website Privacy Policies + Terms and Conditions

If you're a business with a website, you need a privacy policy.

This is a good idea whether or not you technically fall within the definition of a business obliged to do so by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

If you own an online business that in any way operates within the European Union (EU) or collects data about EU citizens, you will need to ensure your privacy policies are compliant with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Canny Insight can customise a website privacy policy and terms and conditions to your website, which adheres with your legal obligations in handling the personal information of any users of your website or App, including obligations under the GDPR (if applicable).

This is one of the many services included with our 12-month subscription Packages, which are aimed at meeting the internal compliance and legal needs of any sized business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do I Need Website Privacy Policies?

Having a privacy policy for your business that is easily viewed on your website by anyone accessing your goods and services is becoming best business practice for most Australian businesses. The range of businesses that must comply with the Privacy Act coverage is growing, and for those businesses having a written privacy policy in place is a legal requirement. For this reason, and because consumers are increasingly concerned with how their personal information is collected, used, disclosed and stored, most businesses are opting to have a privacy policy on their website to confirm their compliance with Australia's privacy laws.

Do I Need Terms and Conditions?

As with all agreements impacting your business, it is important to have your business's terms and conditions in writing so they are easily understood by your consumers. These are terms under which your business operates or provides its goods and services, and are referred to by many other names, such as Terms of Trade, Terms and Conditions, Terms of Engagement, or even Service and Supply Agreements.

What Are Website Terms and Conditions?

Website Terms and Conditions are slightly different from general terms and conditions or terms of trade/engagement, as these are the terms that relate to the use of your website. They are commonly referred to as Website Terms of Use. These can be particularly important for businesses that operate mainly online, and usually alongside your Privacy Policy as both deal with the use of any visitor's data. Website terms set out the rules for anyone visiting your website and outline what your business will and won't be responsible for when anyone engages with your website and your business.
