Privacy Policy
A Privacy Policy may be required by law even if not required by Blogger (BlogSpot) directly.
These privacy laws are in place around the world and work to protect the privacy rights of individuals. And they don’t only apply to blogs operating from their geographic region.
For example, the EU’s GDPR applies when personal information is collected from people in the EU, regardless of where the information collector is located. In other words, if you live in and blog from the United States but have a user base in the EU, you’ll fall under the jurisdiction of the GDPR.
Some of the most influential and wide-reaching of these laws include CalOPPA in the United States and the GDPR in the EU.
Something as basic as having an email subscription form on your blog will mean your blog legally needs a Privacy Policy.
Blogger (BlogSpot) allows bloggers to insert an HTML widget where an email newsletter subscription form can be used. If you’re using this feature, you’ll need a Privacy Policy.
