Having said that it seems easy to design and develop the website and/or mobile application according to the business model and customer preferences but at the same time one need to be very careful while drafting the website/mobile application policy. The website/mobile application drafting is as technical as its programming and business need to understand the sanctity of the same.

What is Website/Mobile Application?

A website policy includes a text section of your website that tells guests and probable customers and clients exactly what are the terms of use of the website and what data you collect from them.

Why Online Business Platforms needs Website/Mobile Application Policy?

All online businesses need terms of service agreement and privacy policy prominently displayed on their website as well as app. Most users ignore them and perhaps wonder whether they’re of any use at all, but all entrepreneurs know their importance. The terms of service agreement explains the conditions on which service is being delivered.

Online Privacy Policy: Website Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions Agreement along with Disclaimer (User Policy) is a legal document which states that any information which is being gathered by any website will not be disclosed to the third party without any permission or legal action.

The Legal Prerequisite of having Website Policy

What Constitutes a Complete Website/Mobile Application Policy?

  1. Terms of Use of the Website/App: The “terms of use or the terms and conditions” document is the most important and the lengthiest document in the entire website policy and therefore it needs to cover the business model into the legal boundaries to avoid any kind of future litigation. As the name suggest it set out the periphery in which the User can use the service provided by the website as it defines how the website will operate and what are the obligations of the Company and the User respectively. It is a bipartite agreement between the user and the company which the user must agree to and abide by in order to use a website or service. This document needs most dynamic drafting as each business is quite unique in its own way and to provide it legal shield one needs to be very careful while drafting the same.
  • Privacy Policy of the Website/App: The next important legal document in website policy is the privacy policy is a statement which discloses some or all of the ways how the company or business will gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer or client’s data. Their privacy laws apply not only to government operations but also to private enterprises and commercial transactions.
  •  Disclaimer of the Website/App: A disclaimer is a statement/notice informing the user of any product or service of the possible consequences of the same. The law mandates the display of a disclaimer in certain cases, such as where there is an inherent risk of harm to one’s health (the warnings displayed on cigarettes are a prime example), but are used commonly in all product and service literature.
