Why do you need a privacy policy as well as a Terms and Conditions document? Aren’t they the same thing?

It’s true that a privacy policy and Terms and Conditions are legally binding documents. But that’s where their commonality ends.

Privacy policies are legally required in most countries. They not only protect your users but also declare your compliance with the privacy laws in those countries and, in some cases, states.

Terms and conditions, on the other hand, are designed to protect you and your business. Business owners can set their rules about how their website, service, and/or product is used — within laws set by the country and perhaps the state where you do business.
