privacy notices

Information handling statements

Privacy notices are formal disclosures explaining how an organization collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information.

Required by data protection laws in many jurisdictions, they appear on websites, in apps, and alongside financial or medical services.

The privacy notice explained that our data would be shared with third-party advertisers.

Also called privacy policies, though notices tend to be shorter summaries while policies contain full legal detail.
