A few years back we highlighted the importance of having a Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and other policies prominently displayed on your website to protect both your organization and your website visitors. At that time, we announced a new requirement for our website management service – all sites must have (at minimum) a Privacy Policy provided by your organization or through our partner, Termageddon.
With all of the new privacy laws taking effect in 2023, and even more proposed to take effect in the near future, now is a great time to review old policies and consider publishing updates or revisions. While there are plenty of free templates available online, it’s important to understand the implications of a poorly-written or non-inclusive policy and what it means for your visitors and organization.
As of May 1, 2023, all sites hosted by and/or maintained by Smashstar Media will require a lawyer-reviewed Privacy Policy. Additionally, sites with our community features or those that collect user data will also require a lawyer-reviewed Terms of Service (TOS). To make this process super easy for anyone needing a policy or two, Smashstar Media and Termageddon are offering a discount to our existing clients who have not yet added Termageddon policies to their site:
