law and the applicable regulations, the description provided in a privacy policy, the language used, the<br />
positions taken, and the policies set <strong>for</strong>th are as clear an indication of the business’ data privacy<br />
sophistication and posture as can be gleaned without an internal investigation of the business. And if that<br />
privacy policy has not been updated, uses language that is out of date or improperly addresses data<br />
privacy concerns, or if the privacy policy was simply copied from some other business and, is out of place<br />
or otherwise ill-fitted to the business otherwise described on the website or application, it will be glaringly<br />
obvious to those familiar with data privacy law. To a skilled regulator looking <strong>for</strong> a company which has<br />
not complied with state law, reading a website privacy policy that fails to address or improperly addresses<br />
consumer rights and business responsibilities can provide more than enough grounds to open an<br />
investigation into the company.<br />
All of this regulatory activity now makes website and mobile application privacy policies key regulatory<br />
company documents. Careful thought should be given to the preparation of these documents as would<br />
be given to any other regulatory disclosure. <strong>The</strong>se policies should be drafted with care by a skilled data<br />
privacy professional familiar with the regulatory requirements at issue in careful consultation with<br />
company officials. <strong>The</strong>y should not be prepared from a <strong>for</strong>m or borrowed from another company’s<br />
website. <strong>The</strong>se policies should also be updated regularly to reflect current company practices, as an<br />
outdated privacy policy is an inaccurate privacy policy and equally troublesome from a regulatory<br />
perspective and potentially a source of regulatory liability.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no reason to believe that the regulatory wave of comprehensive state consumer data privacy<br />
laws is going to do anything but increase. So it is imperative that companies carefully consider their<br />
website privacy policies now, and moving <strong>for</strong>ward.<br />
