There are several reasons to take the time to add a Privacy Policy and and Terms of Service to your website.
Cover Your Ass-ets
Of course there’s the legal coverage they give you – in particular, your Terms of Service can protect you from future litigation.
Reassure Your Visitors
They are also very important trust builders with your site visitors. To them, you’re obviously taking care of details and not a “fly by night” operation, if you’ve gone to the effort of clearly delineating your policies.
A Privacy Policy May Help Search Engine Optimization
There are rumors that Google and Facebook both look more kindly upon links to sites with a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (ToS). Can’t hurt, might help. It’s up to you whether to put these on your main menu, or perhaps just in a footer menu. Here’s Outcome Marketing’s Privacy Policy, if you’d like a peek.

Once you’ve generated your Policy, copy the HTML code at the bottom of the screen. Click in that area and then hit Control + A to make sure you get it all, and then Control + C to copy. Open a New Page on your WordPress site, go to the HTML tab (called TEXT after version 3.5) and click in the text area. Then press Control + V to paste the policy in. If it’s possible in your Theme, you may want to set the page display options to full width. Put a title on your page, and Publish it. Decide whether you want it as part of your main menu structure, or as a link in your footer.
Congratulations. You now have a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for your website – that’s professional!

If you include Google AdSense and other advertisements on your Blogger site, you must include a privacy policy to be in compliance with these programs. This policy identifies how your visitor’s information is collected and used when accessing your blog. Use the tools in your Blogger account to create a privacy policy and display it in a prominent area, such as the header, on every page where your readers can find it easily..

Privacy Policy is one of the important thing we may have because without this we can not assure the safety of the website you have. Thanks for sharing this wonderful article.
