When Commencing a
Home Business Start Up
Ensure You Have a Privacy Policy in Place

A Privacy Policy|Home Business Start UpA home business start up does not have to go to a solicitor to have a privacy policy drawn up. You can simply look at what others have written (particularly big companies that have probably used a solicitor) and adapt one of theirs.

Home business start up operators need to decide on what things they want to make your clients feel secure about in their business activities. Once you have defined the areas you feel are of concern to your clients, then put together a statement declaring what you will do to protect their privacy in a ‘privacy policy' statement.

When you have a privacy policy you will need it to cover a number of different scenarios. If you have a web site, consider making a statement that viewers are able to visit without having to provide their details. In some software packages that enable you to build a website, the privacy policy is included e.g. XSite Pro.

You should also have a privacy policy in place about how your data base will be used and how members will be contacted. If you have Alliance partners who share the information you collect, you must make sure you explain under what circumstances this occurs and how and when they can access them e.g. there may be a joint mail out.
