INTERNET MARKETING

on your own website?

On some sites I just see Disclaimer, quite a few just have this.

Some sites, I just see Privavcy Policy and some I see have Disclaimer and Privacy.

I will have a website promoting ebook with an opt in.

Can anyone advise what really is needed?

Thanks!

In general, you should have both. A privacy policy covers how you will use data that is collected from visitors. A disclaimer gives you some protection with regard to your content and any claims made. A disclaimer can also be included as part of your terms of use though, when selling a product, it is helpful to have at least the disclaimer portion on your sales page.

Generally, in the U.S. : Earnings Disclaimer is required if you sell or promote anything in the "make money" field, a General Disclaimer & Warranties allows you take advantage of certain rights you have in the event of a problem, a TOS sets forth how you run your site and what visitors should expect and a Privacy Policy sets forth how you treat visitor and buyer information and is required.

I agree too - a disclaimer is necessary, especially if you
sell anything or even provide certain solutions that might
get you into trouble. And yes, a privacy policy is
certainly a must, nowadays.

Personally I put a Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and Copyright and About page on all of my sites.

Why?

For Google.

Google loves to see those pages and it improves your Quality Score and the trust Google gives you.

I am not particularly worried about getting sued over a small website I could easily take down, though it is a nice bit of insurance even though it probably would not hold up too well it court, it is nice to have something to point to.

Both are good reasons to use these pages. You can easily find a generic version of the first 3 and just insert your site name.
