Do you have a Privacy Policy and/or Terms of Service page on your sideproject's website? If so, how did you get it? Did you write yourself, had a lawyer write it or used some online generator? What about a cookie consent popup?<p>Myself, I've recently realized I have a few sideprojects online that don't provide that information, so I started looking into it. If I find a decent template I'll probably add it to some of my sites.
I use a paid generator: <a href="https://termsfeed.com/" rel="nofollow">https://termsfeed.com/</a>. It asks you a few questions about how you will be using the data and generates the text based on your answers.

Yes. I created a free app involving speeding in your car so ToS absolving me of responsibility for misuse was necessary. I also included a privacy policy about analytics data collected. I worded it in plain terms myself without involving a lawyer.<p><a href="https://jakehilborn.github.io/speedr/" rel="nofollow">https://jakehilborn.github.io/speedr/</a>
I actually made them for my side project last night.<p>I just googled around and found a ToS / Privacy Policy generator but they wanted like $60 for each. They publish a template so I took the mostly completed template, added a few details (emails are saved, analytics are collected, I'm not selling or distributing your info, email me if you want your account deleted, etc)
Yes. Explicitly.<p>Not worded as a lawyer, but as an actual sane person:<p>(Since the project is free and open source and deals with torrents, I wanted to make it clear from the beginning that we're not logging anything)<p><a href="https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/blob/angular/LICENSE.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/blob/angular/LICENS...</a><p><a href="https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/blob/angular/README.md#privacy-statement" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/blob/angular/README...</a>
Interesting question, and one I've been debating with myself for a bit too - I have a launch page setup for my new side project, currently in development but put a page up to gather interest.<p>Would folks expect a some terms or a privacy policy to be applied to this? All it is collecting is an email for notification of launch, and this is hosted by MailChimp. I suspect a ToS is overkill, but a privacy policy may be sensible for folks?
I have one as there is a CA law that requires it.<p>I am not sure how I found it, but I got mine from termsfeed.com they were even nice enough to modify it for me when I realized I did not check the correct boxes.
Are you providing a paid service? privacy, tos, faq, help, about us, our mission, etc etc pages can help to confirm your authenticty to someone who intends to buy.<p>Cookie layer is mandatory in the EU
