Privacy Policy, Disclaimer and Terms of Use

Yes, I would recommend you need both, especially if you are running a business.

Privacy policy is basically stating how you use peoples information and what you do with it (security, cookies) while terms of service is basically a contract between the user of your site and your company...they are rules that must be agreed to by users of a website in order to use the site or the services on the site.

There are tons of resources available to get these done for free or for a fair price. If you're on a really tight budget, find a competitors site, copy their terms and privacy, and re-write it for your own business.

Here is how the Canadian, UK, Australian, New Zealand, etc (you get the idea) issue is handled in my Internet marketers site:

1. Forms include places to include your place of business, and not merely the US, and I have a guide explaining why this is important and the exact wording you need to use.

2. If you sell to US residents you need to comply with US law. US government agencies have no problem suing those in Canada, extraditing them to the US, and plopping them in US prisons.

It could be argued that complying with US law could be more important than Canadian law.

3. Some forms, particularly copyright, have US and Canadian law built into them. There is no harm if this type of form is overinclusive in referring to potential rights.

There is no "generator" that can create a terms of use or disclaimer applicable for all situation. A good starting point would be a disclaimer or terms created for a specific situation, and then modifying them as needed for your site.
