Thread: Sample Privacy Policy for Adsense Users!

Below is a sample Adsense Privacy Policy Template, provided by JenSense

This privacy policy template can be used and modified to adopt for use on your site!

Google Adsense now requires a privacy policy be provided for all sites that use adsense.

I personally do not use adsense, but I used this privacy policy anyways because it is a good one and explains to my site's visitors how their personal information is used and safeguarded and never sold on any of my sites.

Here is the link to my Privacy Policy Page, so you can see how I changed and modified, the template provided below and adapted it to fit nicely into my site.

Biology-Nation Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may also help me, by me uploading this privacy policy to my site now, it will be pretty well established by the time I do decide to use adsense, also it makes my sites visitors feel more secure when visiting anyone of my pages!

I hope that this helps current adsense users, future adsense users, or any webmaster who just simply needs a simple copy & paste privacy policy for anyone of their sites!

Anyway thanks for the share BiologyWebmaster...on a side note..been finding that my "disclaimer page" (same basic template that you provided) has been getting indexed!

just curious

I didn't know that G--gle now requires adsense publishers to have privacy policy. There are millions of casual bloggers and webmasters without this policy, will their account be closed?

Just a thought.

Well from what I have been reading online, if any website does not have a privacy policy informing site visitors that they may be presented with ads by Google, then adsense may give you the boot.

This is their new stand.

That is great Briguy, yes I have noticed the same, my privacy policy page is being indexed in search engines, and is actually even bringing me some traffic.

Funny thing is though, that I currently am not an adsense user, but I still found it necessary to have a privacy policy for my site.

Also, having placed some internal links to my about page and home page, will flow good internal link juice to my other more important pages!

Yes, roceans you can just copy and paste this privacy policy onto your site, just make sure that you customize it to fit your needs and site design. Take a look at the link I provided in original post to my site's privacy policy. I took the simple template below and made it easier on the eyes. Also the privacy policy on my site, contains a a bit more info than the template sample provides.

Hence, you can feel free to add anything you want to this adsense privacy policy, to match the needs of your site and most important your sites' visitors needs.

I Hope This Helps;
