The importance or otherwise of having a privacy policy for your business.

We all like our privacy but is privacy and a formal privacy policy for my business realty that important?

Last Friday we received the following query.

 “I am a local business owner and I’ve been working recently with developers to take my business online. They have advised me to make sure I have a proper privacy policy drawn up for my website. Is this really necessary or can I just use a standard one from the internet?”
