Privacy Policy Example

To assist with the necessary policies that stores need on their website, boilerplate policies have been provided for stores to use.  The policy can be created as a Page on your IndieCommerce or IndieLite site.  The Page can then be linked in the Footer of the website to make it accessible to customers and other parties.

We have Help Documents available on Creating Pages and Creating Links.  Should you need assistance on getting these policies on your site, please email us at [email protected]

*This is a template of recommended language only and stores should modify the text to fit their policies and reflect the store's name and brand where applicable.
