Tôi khuyên chỉnh thêm 3 điểm trước khi đăng

Thứ nhất, không nên đưa địa chỉ nhà hoặc số điện thoại cá nhân vào Privacy Policy. Trang Contact là đủ ở giai đoạn này; nếu bạn có email riêng kiểu privacy@meaningfulgiftsideas.com hoặc contact@meaningfulgiftsideas.com, sau này nên bổ sung.

Thứ hai, tôi cố tình viết phần affiliate và advertising theo trạng thái mở. Hiện website đang xây content trước, nhưng sau này bạn có thể dùng Dreamship, affiliate hoặc quảng cáo. Như vậy không phải viết lại toàn bộ Privacy Policy khi bắt đầu kiếm tiền. Tuy nhiên, khi thực sự triển khai một mạng quảng cáo/affiliate cụ thể, nên cập nhật tên nhà cung cấp và cơ chế dữ liệu thực tế.

Thứ ba, Privacy Policy không thay thế Affiliate Disclosure. Với cấu trúc website này, tôi khuyên footer về sau có ít nhất: Privacy Policy | Terms of Use | Affiliate Disclosure | About Us | Contact. Khi WooCommerce/Dreamship được đưa vào hoạt động, lúc đó cần bổ sung các điều khoản liên quan checkout, đơn hàng, thanh toán, vận chuyển và dữ liệu khách hàng.
