For a privacy policy, you really need to spend some time writing down
what needs to be in your privacy policy. For example, are you going to
track visitors in server logs? Then that has to be disclosed. Are you
going to use session cookies, and how are they being used? If there is
some sort of dispute, how does the user make the dispute?
http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P/ and
http://www.truste.org/about/securityguidelines.php are good places to
start. IBM has a policy generator that guides you through it
<http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/p3peditor>.
With both disclaimers and privacy statements, you should have an attorney
look over what you have for any glaring errors or omissions.
