Yep. Same with "Privacy Policies".
If you have one, the FTC can come after you for violation of said privacy policy. Fines can result.
If you don't have one, FTC has nothing.

Surely this is in some sense as it should be? If a company has no privacy policy, then it explicitly offers me no guarantees about how it treats my data, and I can do business with it (or not) accordingly. However, if a company has a privacy policy, then I should be able to rely on it; it shouldn't be just feel-good boilerplate.

Also, if you make any privacy-related claims, the FTC can come down on you for misrepresentations. A clear, visible Privacy Policy provides an opportunity to clarify what might otherwise be taken as unqualified privacy claims provided elsewhere.
