Privacy Policy
A Privacy Policy is a legal document that transparently discloses how a website, application, or organization collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects the personal information of its users or customers. It's distinct from the Terms of Service, which governs the rules of using a service, while the Privacy Policy focuses specifically on data handling practices.
