Take a note from the BBC and use links to your advantage to make it easier for users to follow along or find what they’re looking for. You should also summarize the policy using a table of contents listing all clauses your users are about to read through. Remember laws and regulations frequently change so you should expect to make regular updates and changes to your privacy policy. Your introduction clause should establish how you will inform users about these updates or revisions to your privacy policy agreement. For accuracy and transparency visibly provide the last updated date on the policy like the BBC did in the examples above.

The GDPR created additional guidelines for businesses collecting any sensitive information from users that you must follow if you store and process things like biometric or health data or information about users race political affiliations orientation or philosophical beliefs. Users can provide the information actively or voluntarily or websites might collect specific details automatically using cookies or other derivative data. You must mention both types of data gathering because leaving something out could lead to legal repercussions under laws like the GDPR and the CCPA.
