    Have a lawyer do it, but make sure that he/she is an attorney experienced with websites and online media. It would also be helpful if you can provide the attorney with some operational and technical details about your website, such as the use of cookies, third-party advertising, how collected data is used, etc., so that they can write the policy and terms appropriately.

    Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

    Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

    If you have Adsense (especially), or some other products on your site that you're promoting... you can generate a Privacy Policy here (I use this one myself):

    Google Adsense Privacy Policy Generator - Create a Privacy Policy Adsense

    This site has a privacy policy and Terms generator (I've never used it for my sites, but I may start using it now):

    Privacy Policy / Terms Of Service Generator

      You can get one of my products (below in the sig) that will not only give a template, but walk you through various legal terms so you know what they mean and whether you want them.

      Getting 'generated' terms from unknown non-attorneys is almost always a recipe for disaster.

      When I first created the Webmaster's Legal Guide the impetus was huge, six-figure disasters that I'd seen in my law office because businesses were using terms without knowing what they meant or what they needed to have.

      The goal is not to merely have terms - but to have terms that accomplish something. Hopefully, at a minimum, to prevent litigation - not attract it --> as so many generic terms do.

      As for copying someone else's terms, you may find yourself on the ugly end of a copyright infringement claim, as another Warrior here found himself a couple years ago.

      Also, I should add that I'm currently about to finish a trademark primer that covers many issues Warriors have had on the forum, which will be added to the Internet Marketing Law Center (FTC issues and the Webmaster's Legal Guide are already included). With that will be a huge Warrior discount. Look for it later this week, or PM me if you want to be personally notified of the Warrior offer.)
