Privacy Policies vs. Terms & Conditions

Depending on your website or mobile/desktop app, you’ll need either a Privacy Policy agreement and a Terms and Conditions (T&C) agreement, or both.

Each of these two legal agreements serves different purposes for both you (the company operating the website/mobile app) and your users.

So, what’s the difference between these two agreements?

In short:

• A Privacy Policy agreement is required by law if you collect or use any personal information from your users, e.g. email addresses, first and last names etc. The purpose of this agreement is to inform users about your collection and use of personal data of users.
• A Terms & Conditions (T&C) agreement sets forth terms, conditions, requirements, and clauses relating to the use of your website or mobile/desktop app, e.g. copyright protection, accounts termination in cases of abuses, and so on.

Hope! you have got some idea about Privacy Policies vs. Terms & Conditions.
