You are legally required to have certain pages on your website. These include:
Terms and conditions
Privacy policy
Privacy policies.
A privacy policy is a statement of how you will collect, use, and share personal information. It also explains your data security practices and the types of cookies you use—if any.
A good privacy policy helps you build trust with customers by demonstrating that you value their privacy and are committed to protecting it. It makes people more comfortable doing business with you because they know what information they can expect from you and how much control they have over that information. A good privacy policy also reduces the risk of getting hit with penalties in the event of an enforcement action against your business or organization (e.g., fines or legal judgments).
Terms & Conditions.
The Terms & Conditions is a page that describes the terms under which a product or service is offered. This page helps to clarify what you can expect from your company as well as your customers. If you don't have terms and conditions, it's like going into a store without knowing the price tags. You could be surprised by how much you spend on things that aren't really important to you, or not know if there are any limitations on what services are included with the purchase of a service. Sometimes some services businesses’ Services page may cover much of the information found in the Terms & Conditions.
The benefits of having this page includes:
Better customer experience
Improved customer trust
Reduced risk of legal problems
