This is a small awareness minisite that we built to educate visitors in the simplest possible way about what behavior usually requires you to maintain a privacy policy on your site (and how we can help fixing that gap).

Why do I need a privacy policy for a personal website using basic Google analytics? (That's what your minisite suggests.) I don't have customers, only visitors, there is no contract.

Hey, yeah there are two things regarding Google Analytics,

First it's in Google's terms, have a quick look here there's an interesting write up regarding this topic that covers it better than I could here in this short amount of time: http://searchengineland.com/how-many-google-privacy-policies...

Secondly GA collects personal data from your users which in most legislations means that you need to inform users about that fact (most notoriously Europe).

Thanks for your reply, it's interesting. I'll read up and act on it, maybe using your new service :)
