Adding a Privacy Policy

Adding a privacy policy is a good idea for a website these days. The idea of the privacy policy is to cover any type of information and data that is tracked on the website. Without a privacy policy a customer could have a complaint about being tracked by cookies on your website and your company be liable.

Why is this a problem?

Because some customers highly value their privacy and will not want to be tracked or have their information stored in your database without being in formed of that in the first place. It’s super important as a business to make sure you cover all the bases.

On this website here, we have a privacy policy that is updated from time to time. If you’re wanting to create your own policy on your website, you can use our template attached to the bottom of this blog post.

3rd Party Ads

One of the things that can happen is third-party ads or networks that are running on the website may have sensitive data attached to them that they sell.

If you are running ad networks on your website, you want to be sure that any data that sold is informed to your visitors on your policy page. If data is being sold and the customer is not aware of this, that can open up all kinds of issues and possibly even a lawsuit.

Have questions about how to get this policy on your website?

Jophiel grew up on a ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana near Chico Hot Springs. Working on the ranch instilled work ethic and self motivation. Filled with this drive, Jophiel started mowing the local school's yards twice a month throughout the summers, at the age of 12. He moved to Billings in 2004, where he has been deeply involved in the local business community ever since. A serial entrepreneur, Jophiel has ran multiple businesses in our local community. The first business, a janitorial and carpet cleaning company, founded in 2005, has employed over 50 locals. Moving on to the media industry, Jophiel and several partners founded Green Directory Montana in the spring of 2007. Green Directory's sustainability ranking software awarded points based on sustainable or "green" actions. These points counted towards a business's total "Green Score," which in turn ranked them against other businesses in their category and throughout the entire site. It also featured a limited edition print version distributed annually. A business acquisition allowed Jophiel to focus on new projects, and a few close business colleagues and Jophiel started Rocky Mountain Mr. & Ms. Magazine, a lifestyle publication for men and women in the Magic City. After a year and a half at the helm of RM3 Magazine, the business was purchased. He now runs a web development company SkyPoint Studios and fathers his son Jaoquin, who plays football, basketball, soccer, and is learning snowboarding from his dad. Recently, has expanded to locations in Havasu, Arizona & Vegas. SkyPoint Studios is a market leader in both Billings & Havasu and Jophiel is working on building that same level of market dominance in Vegas.
