privacy notice

Information handling statement

A privacy notice is a formal disclosure explaining how an organization collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information.

Required by data protection laws in many jurisdictions, privacy notices appear on websites, apps, and forms where personal data is gathered: Please read our privacy notice before submitting your information.

Also called a privacy policy, though technically a notice informs users while a policy governs internal practices.
