What every privacy policy should contain

Strip away the legalese and a good policy answers seven questions: what you collect, why, on what basis, who else sees it, where it goes, how long you keep it, and what people can do about it. If a section of your document doesn't answer one of those, it is probably filler.

• Categories of data — collected directly and automatically
• Purposes, written as plain outcomes rather than legal abstractions
• Third parties by name, not just 'trusted partners'
• International transfers and the safeguard used
• Retention periods or the criteria behind them
• Rights, and a working contact route to exercise them
• The date the document was last updated

How to keep it accurate after launch

Policies go stale the moment you add a tool. A short habit fixes it: whenever you connect a new service that touches customer data, add it to the document in the same change. Keep the previous version so you can show what was published at a given time — that record matters far more in a dispute than elegant drafting.
