1. Information Collection
Clearly state what data you collect from customers. This typically includes:
Personal Identifiers: Name, shipping/billing address, email address, and phone number.
Payment Information: Note that payments are usually processed via secure third-party gateways (like PayPal or Stripe) and that you do not store full credit card details.
Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, and "cookies" used to keep items in a shopping cart.
2. How Information is Used
Explain the purpose of the data collection:
To process and fulfill orders.
To provide customer support and order updates.
To send promotional emails (only if the user has opted in).
To improve website functionality and user experience.
3. Data Sharing with Third Parties
Transparency is vital here. Disclose that you share data with:
Logistics Partners: Courier services to deliver physical goods (like your Wedding Cards or Multicolor Prints).
Payment Processors: To authorize transactions.
Legal Requirements: If required by law to prevent fraud or comply with a subpoena.
4. User Rights and Data Control
Empower your users by explaining their rights:
Access & Correction: How they can update their account information.
The Right to be Forgotten: How they can request that their data be deleted.
Opt-out: Clear instructions on how to unsubscribe from marketing communications.
Placement: Since you are building on Google Sites, add a "Privacy Policy" link in your Footer so it appears on every page.
Clarity: Avoid dense "legalese." Use simple language so your customers feel comfortable "shopping now" without "any heritage" (hesitation).
Updates: Include an "Effective Date" at the top so users know when the policy was last refreshed.
