Privacy policy
A simple Privacy Policy for “Clement’s Website” could look like this. This is only a generic template and should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer, especially if you target users in regions with strict laws (e.g. GDPR, CCPA).

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
