If you place adsense ads in the privacy policy content area. I have seen sites doing this(ads within the privacy policy text), and their adsense accounts are still surviving for months.

    No one reads the privacy policy, what a waste of a place to put ads

    if... Your adsense account could get banned WITHOUT any reason! You can be the best webmaster and do NOTHING wrong, but you can get your account banned. So, if you are going to risk it, go on, but you'd better work WITHOUT breaking any rules and your account could be active for at least one month+

      I strongly doubt that. In the 10 years I've had my AdSense account, I've never even come close to getting banned, and I was in the "Fedex club" for a brief period back in 05-06. I have been "warned" once or twice over the years, but this notion that Google always shoots first and asks questions later seems to be exclusive to WF.

      Same goes for PayPal. People do stuff they aren't supposed to do, get shut down, then come here and whine that they didn't do anything wrong.

    If you do anything against their "TOS", then you are about to get ban when caught.

    I've violated the TOS a couple of times over the years, unintentionally. Both times, I received an email from them asking me to take down the offending page. I did as they requested and still no issues to date. Maybe they're less tolerant of newer users, I've gotten a check from Google every month since 2004, but as long as they don't believe you're intentionally breaking the rules I don't think you'll be banned.

    Rather than asking questions in here, why don't you just read the TOS?

    The question cannot be answered. We don't work for google, and
    we have no idea what your privacy policy page looks like.

    The best thing we can say is that you can't put ads on non-content
    pages. But it does not mean on pages that have content that may
    not look like content. Google has said time and time again, is that
    the rule is there to stop people from putting ads on BLANK pages.
    That is, pages with nothing BUT ads. Anything else is up
    to interpretation by google and only google.

    You can make any page a content page, put adsense, but that does
    not mean google will like it. Likewise, you can put adsense on virtually every
    page like digitalpoint, and get away with each page being a content
    page.

    Is this a content page? tools.digitalpoint.com

    Sometimes I go to random sites, sit & read Privacy Policy pages for hours.

    Seriously, I don't think it matters If you have Adsense on a Privacy Policy page, heck a lot of blogs run sitewide Ads in their header/footer, no big deal.

    If you take advice from a forum and don't do the research yourself, your site is going to get banned for something. The TOS is an agreement between you and Google. You need to understand it.

    IMO it's no big deal, after all a Privacy Policy page only exist for traffic to read, even If they never read the page.

    I wouldn't go crazy & wrap the Privacy Policy text around an Adsense Ad, lmao! If it's a header or footer Ad, doubtful anyone cares. I have an old blogspot with sitewide header Ads & shows an Ad on the Privacy Policy page, I've never had a problem (nobody cares, even I don't care).
