Privacy policies are required by law for all websites that collect information. Several states have implemented their own privacy laws in the last couple months, so even if you already have one, it may need updated to remain compliant! Terms of Service (aka Terms & Conditions) is a contract between you as the business owner and your site visitors. It serves as legal protection, IP protection, and limits your liability. The sources below offer both privacy policies and terms of service and they're what we use (and love) in our business.
