Ask HN: What legal notices do I need on my website?
Is this even something I can find out, or is it something I have to have a lawyer for?
- bks 14y agoMy $.02 - I handle quite a bit of PPC of clients using google adwords. There has been quite a bit of buzz about what policies to include to be compliant and I just extrapolated that if it's a requirement for Google when it comes to advertising it's not a bad thing to have on your site for other purposes. http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/adwords-gets-serious-about-privacy-policies http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/adwords-gets-serious-abo... I always configure a: Privacy Policy Terms of Service Copyright symbol Designated agent and DMCA
- ScottBurson 14y agoIANAL, but I think the short version is: if you're not handling money, it probably doesn't matter. If you are handling money, you need a lawyer.
- twunde 14y agoYou should have a copyright notice to protect your content. If your website has people sign up then you should have a privacy notice (which people have to agree to when signing up). The only other thing you may want would be a terms of service and that's fairly rare to see.
- Pyrodogg 14y agoIf you're in the US and hosting user uploaded content it would be wise to have a DMCA notice and a designated agent. See the DMCA link at the bottom of this page for an example.
