Hello,
I’m thinking of adding Piwik to a site. I had sent the following questions to Piwik in an e-mail, and they suggested I post them on their forum. HEre goes:
Is it a necessity legally to add any sort of warning/policy/etc. somewhere on my site regarding the use of your service (or any web analytics)? If so, I’m having trouble coming up with language that is legally sound and won’t turn off any visitors.
I see that Piwik has kindly noted I may reuse its own privacy policy:
[URL]http://piwik.org/privacy/policy/[/URL]
but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to adapt this. Does anyone have another example(s) you suggest I draw from in writing one? Is an opt-out link of some sort required? If I implement Piwik, I will most likely anonymize the IP addresses of my site’s visitors…
Does it matter where I place the privacy policy within the site? I was thinking of making a link to it in our contact page.
Does Piwik restrict how I present any privacy policy I use (including an opt-out link)? I’d prefer to customize it’s look/match my site’s appearance, rather than use the coding Piwik provided on its site. Is the check box thing for opting out necessary?
I’m new to this (obviously!). Thanks in advance…
