Thread: Privacy Policy

How long do we have to add a privacy policy to our site for adsense? I'm looking for this on the adsense website, but I can't find it anywhere.

I believe we have until May, but just want to be sure.

Good question. I don't remember seeing a date when I read about this.

I never got an email from Adsense When did they start this? If this is so, almost everybody is against TOS(Policies)

I don't even know if they sent an email. I rarely check my google mail.

I got the notice when I logged in to my adsense account one time. There was a notice that came up, and you had to read and accept the terms before you could go to view your adsense reports.

You'll only be against TOS if you don't put the notice on your page by a certain date. I believe its the last day in May, but not 100% sure. I think I got the notice about 2 months ago.

I didn't get an email either, but did have the notice on my adsense account like you did, West. I don't recall a date, but I did get mine up after getting the SBI newsletter that mentioned it and offered a privacy policy we could use.

For people that don't have SBI accounts, this site has a privacy policy they will let you use. And here is a pretty good explanation of the changes.

I read about it on another site. I forgot about creating a privacy policy so I better do it before I forget.

Oh O.k....Now I remember. I just thumbed through the TOS(Can't read techy stuff lol) Guess I'll do it.

BTY, if they want Privacy Policies, why don't they provide it for us and explain?..and what about Google hosted Blogger blogs. It just would seem really silly to put on on a blog. Plus they did not outline what it should contain so I'll just use it in my own words I guess...

Why on Earth would they require all sites to do this now? We weren't required before. I'm sorry if I seems to ramble on and on. I'm just a little frustrated.

I wondered about the blogger sites too because you can't even create static pages on blogger right? If you can, it's not very straightforward unless something has changed since I last used blogger.

It will be interesting to see how they try to enforce this but I will add one just to be safe.

I've found another excellent(if not better) link for Google Adsense' Privacy Policy.

It's called Privacy Policy Generator!

...That way they'll be no more headaches lol

I have yet to see a way of adding static pages to blogger...at least very easily.

What I do now is create a post with a publish date in June 2007 so it won't show up on my home page as a new post. I then create a link to that post.

I haven't checked the Draft Blogger yet with regards to static pages.
