i realize that a privacy policy is a good thing and will be put in, right when i get home. anyone have a link to what this should look like, or is there a standard copy for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mmm... you should try using Google, e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=privacy+policy+guidelines http://www.google.com/search?q=create+privacy+policy http://www.google.com/search?q=privacy+statement+guidelines I like the look of: OECD Privacy Statement Generator http://tinyurl.com/5ybrs also http://www.truste.org/ The TRUSTe program's Web site used to have a Create a Privacy Statement Wizard but I can't find it now. All I can find is some specialised reports: http://www.truste.org/about/privacy_guidelines.php http://www.privacyalliance.org/ The Privacy Alliance have several guides for webmasters http://www.privacyalliance.org/resources/ppguidelines.shtml http://www.privacyalliance.org/resources/OPA_brochure.pdf cheers -- Dr Stuart Young, +64 (0)9-815 4321 x 8656 <syoung at unitec.ac.nz> +64 021 183 2846 (mob) Lecturer, School of Computing and Information Technology, Unitec New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand http://tinyurl.com/4956o (the official URL for my staffpage is too long and complex) http://www.pixelandgrain.co.nz/ Web development, graphic design and photography
