Data privacy has long been an issue of public concern, and with changes in online technology, the problem has only deepened. From a legal perspective, a website’s privacy policy essentially functions as an agreement with a site’s users in which the operator seeks consent or agreement from the users to collect and process their personal information. The privacy policy also informs users of the specific type of information the site collects, and how this information will be utilised, processed or shared with third parties.
