Understanding Legal Pages: Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, ADA Compliance

When you launch a website, it’s not just about design and content — it’s also about protecting your business and your visitors. That’s why Privacy Policies, Terms of Service, and ADA Compliance are essential considerations for every website owner. We don’t require you to have one for your site to be built, but some services you utilize may require you to have one. 

A Privacy Policy explains how your website collects, uses, and protects visitor data— such as contact forms, cookies, or newsletter sign-ups. It’s important because:

• It’s required by law in many regions, including the U.S. (California’s CCPA) and Europe (GDPR).
• It builds trust with your visitors by showing you care about their privacy.
• Some services like Google Analytics and Facebook (Meta) Ads require you to have one.

You can get one by consulting an attorney, or using a reputable online generator (like Termly, or iubenda).

A Terms of Service sets the rules for using your website or service(s), including:

• Payment terms (if you sell online)
• Intellectual property rights
• Limitations of liability

It’s important because it protects your business by setting clear expectations with your visitors or customers. Further, it provides a legal safeguard if disputes arise.

You can get one:

• Drafted by an attorney.

• Generated through trusted legal platforms.

• screen readers
• keyboard navigation
• high-contrast modes

It’s important because it shows inclusivity and social responsibility, major key material issues for brands and companies like yours. Also, some businesses are legally required to comply, especially in the United States of America. Lawsuits related to non-compliance have increased in recent years. 

How We Help:

• We follow basic accessibility best practices (like alt text and headings) when building your site.
• However, full ADA compliance often requires specialized audits and tools beyond our standard services.

• We do not provide legal pages or guarantee ADA compliance.
• We can add any legal page content you provide to your website.
• We recommend consulting with a legal professional to ensure your website meets regulatory and legal requirements.
