Privacy Policy

Ensuring you have a comprehensive Privacy Policy on your site is a very important part of your legal online protection.

Medical Disclaimer
If your business is involved in healthcare or provides health-related services, your website needs a Medical Disclaimer within the footer area. In essence, this is a statement explaining that any medical information contained within the website is solely for the purposes of information and should not be construed as medical advice. If website visitors need medical advice, they should contact the appropriate medical professional.

Terms of Service
Your website is the online doorway to your business and as such, needs to provide a few ground rules when interacting online. Commonly known as ‘Terms of Service,’ it can also be referred to as ‘Terms of Use’ or ‘Terms and Conditions.’ In short, this legal document, found in the footer of your website, establishes the ground rules for users who are visiting your website. It serves as a binding agreement between you and the website visitor and can protect you from legal liability should a dispute arise.
