It is a statement provided on a website that explains how you collect, use, and disclose personally identifiable information from any user, such us names, emails, phone number, etc.
There is a difference between a website that has a sign-up form requesting information such as first name and email address and one that stores information about a user’s IP address, location, search habits, or purchase history. Whether your website collect personal data from your users or not, it is still a smart idea to let them know that in your Privacy Policy.
You also have to let them know that their data is being used responsibly and protected so they have nothing to worry about.
