A privacy policy is a legal document or statement on a website or app that discloses how an organization collects, uses, shares, and manages a user's personal data. It informs users about what information is gathered—such as names, emails, or IP addresses—and how it is protected, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR or CCPA.

Key aspects of a privacy policy include:

Data Collection & Usage: Details on what personal information is collected and the specific purposes for which it is used.
Information Sharing: Disclosing if user data is sold, shared with third parties, or used for targeted advertising.
User Rights:
Outlining how users can access, modify, or delete their data, or opt-out of data sharing
.
Security Measures: Explaining how the business protects personal data.

These policies are legally required in many jurisdictions for websites, apps, and businesses that handle personal information. They are often titled "Privacy Notice" or "Privacy Statement".
