privacy policies
Website legal disclosures
Privacy policies are legal documents explaining how organizations collect, use, store, and share personal information.
Websites and apps typically require users to agree to these terms before accessing services.
The documents are notoriously dense and rarely read: Nobody actually reads privacy policies.
Despite the name, they often describe how little privacy users can expect.
