PRO TIP: If you are collecting any sort of personal data from your customers, then you need a privacy policy. This is required by law in many countries, and even if it isn’t required, it is best practice to have one. A privacy policy will let your customers know what sort of data you are collecting from them, how you are using that data, and how you are protecting their privacy.

If you’re not using Shopify, or if you want to create a more customized privacy policy, you can hire a lawyer or use a service like TermsFeed to generate a privacy policy for your website. Make sure to include information about what personal data you collect from your customers, how you use that data, and what rights your customers have.
