Advice on school's site legal requirements

I'm currently developing a new academy's website.  I was wondering if it would be wiser to go through a legal firm specialised in e-legal documents rather than download standard legal documents (e.g. Privacy Policy, Site Terms of Use, etc.) and customise them.

Hi Natalie,

It really all comes down to budget. I'd happily recommend the documents at  www.clickdocs.co.uk however. Maybe use that as a template and make any necesary changes then get your solicitor to check it over. Cheaper than drafting a  document from scratch anyway.

Good luck with it.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the advice and the link. I will definitely use it as a starting point.

Hi Paul,

Thanks! I would be very grateful if your team could produce a P3P Policy Statement.  I didn't know about IE, it's always nice to learn something new.

I'll drop you a line.

Kind Regards

Nathalie

Nathalie,

I'm feeling a bit generous today so I'm happy for my team to produce a P3P privacy policy statement for you. We'll draft something for you to review and then produce the file. IE allows users to filter websites that contain this type of policy so if you don’t have one, some users may never see your site – irrespective of how much you’ve invested in SEO.

I must admit that most sites don't carry one and most users don't know about their existence - however they do demonstrate your commitment to keeping users’ details private! You can read more about it at http://www.w3.org/P3P/ but you don’t need to worry about the techie stuff if you want someone on my team to do it for you! They’re currently building an online tool to allow people like you to generate custom built statements on the fly. There’s nothing tricky about the legality of it.

To see how it would look – visit www.segala.com using MSIE. Click ‘View’ on the menu bar and select the ‘Privacy Report…’ option. Select www.segala.com and choose summary.

Please drop me a note offline if you'd like a hand.

If anyone else is interested, we’ll do 4 more complimentary but you must be a freelancer or work for a reasonably small company.

Kind regards,
Paul

I agree, producing this document from scratch could get pretty pricey.  You should definitely use something like clickdoc as a start point.

Apart for the Privacy Policy (Paul Walsh has generously offered to draft one for the school), we are going to download a Terms of Use Statement document, adapt it and have it checked by a solicitor. It will keep costs down and it's a good compromise.
