Oh, my #1 takeaway was that you confirmed I do need a Privacy Policy on EVERY page of my website. My consultants were telling me it was not necessary, but that just didn't sit right with me. So I hopped on KZfaq and found this video. Thank God!

@@dbrown5443 I'm so glad you saw it, too! Thank you for watching!

you're so welcome, Kim! Thank you so much for watching :)

You're so welcome, Autumn! So glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

That's awesome. Carlos! I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much Sherifa! I'm so glad it was helpful : )

You're so welcome!

Of course! Happy to help :)

Thanks so much! Appreciate you being here!

thanks so much, Thuy! For KZfaq videos, I'd use a mini-disclaimer like the one I offer here! www.samvanderwielen.com/shop/mini-disclaimer-health-coach/

Hi there! Thank you SO much! I don't offer any legal services, just legal templates and trainings for online business owners. Typically speaking you don't have to have someone agree to your privacy policy -- it just has to be made available to them and you have to follow it :) Of course you can always chat with your own attorney if you're looking for advice on this or to see if you're doing it the right way. Thanks so much for watching!

thank you so much! I tried ; ) thanks for watching!

That's awesome, Simona! These policies are perfect for life coaches. I'm so glad it was helpful

You're so welcome! Hope you enjoyed it!

you are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you Anna! I'm so glad this was helpful

Hey there! You can visit my site at samvanderwielen.com to check out my legal templates and trainings! :)

Hey Jo! If you had an attorney review them, then it might be fine! But those free templates are usually VERY bare bones and don't have what you need to protect you. So I'd recommend either going straight to an attorney OR purchasing website policy templates (like the ones I offer) and then having your attorney review them, because that will be much faster (and therefore cheaper ☺️) Hope that helps!

Hey there! Great question :) So an LLC would be really helpful for protecting the business overall (including your website), but you'd also want all 3 website policies on your website, too. They don't just protect you from lawsuits, but also people stealing your content, asking for refunds, sharing your content improperly, blaming you for bad experiences with third-parties, etc. Hope that helps!

Hey Erin! Great question. Ideally you’d use your own privacy policy instead of theirs! You really want to have something that’s customized to you, your business and your site. Ideally you’d want to know how and what edits you need to make to the policy to make sure it actually covers you. Typically the free ones are super basic and generic - so they don’t actually cover what you do. I have a privacy policy template you can customize in my template shop! You can shop all of my DIY Legal Templates here www.samvanderwielen.com/shop-templates/ Hope that helps!

@@SamVanderWielen Thank you so much for the feedback! I have another quick question. For sole proprietors when they're creating a privacy policy should they say I instead of Our? I noticed that on privacy policies people say Our services.

@@erinb.5265 Hey Erin! Good question, but it actually doesn’t matter! Just make it consistent either way ☺

@@SamVanderWielen Thank you so much!

@@erinb.5265 you're so welcome!

Thanks so much Mandy! So glad you found this video helpful! : )

That's a great question! Yes, I'd put them there and you could also use them on landing pages, Facebook groups or ads, etc. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you Chris!! So glad you loved it

😊 thank you

hey! No the website disclaimer is not the same thing as an about page. It's a legal disclaimer to disclaim liability for people's use of the site and consumption of your content (& more!)

you are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

Hi there! That's not an ignorant question at all - that's a good one! So yes, there's a difference. The disclaimers that I'm talking about (the ones that are entire pages and are links on your footer) are robust policies that cover many different topics and disclaim liability for a number of different things you do in your business. Usually the ones we have in a post, or at the bottom of our site, are sort of quick, highlighted versions of a disclaimer stating something that you really, really need people to see right up front. At least for me, terms & conditions are a website policy that you use on your website to set the rules of use of your site. Terms of Use is a contract that people agree to and acknowledge when purchasing a course or digital product of yours. I Hope that helps!

you're so welcome! Thanks for watching!

Hey Dina! Thanks so much for watching my IG trainings! Absolutely I do :) I have all of my DIY Legal Templates available for purchase on my site here: www.samvanderwielen.com/shop-templates/ Let me know if you have any questions!

you're so welcome Bella!

Hey Arianna! I actually offer all of the DIY Legal Templates for these website policies on my site here - www.samvanderwielen.com/shop-templates/. You can download them and fill them out in less than 15 minutes each :) Once you've got those, you'll just create 3 separate new pages on your website, and then embed/integrate those 3 URLs on the footer of your website. Let me know if you have any questions! I'm here to help.

@@SamVanderWielen thank you so much! I will work on that today!

Hey Yolanda! Yep, you would definitely want to have legal policies and contracts in place to protect you during the purchase process :)

Hi Sherry! I don't recommend generators or free templates, since they tend to be pretty generic and bare bones. You'll want something more specific to your business. If you can, contact a local-to-you small business attorney to draft those for you. If you're looking for a more affordable option, I offer DIY Legal Templates that you download and fill out to make your own on my website at samvanderwielen.com/shop.

Hello! Yes, we have Canadians in my Ultimate Bundle™ membership, and they have expressed that the contracts I have available do work in Canada with limited tweaks made to the language after their lawyers have reviewed them. 🎉
