Do you have a website or an online presence? If you do, you are considered to be doing business in some regard, and are required to have a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service in place.

Every individual and every company requires different considerations when it comes to internet law, and what needs to be put into one’s privacy policy and terms of use. Differences lie in content on the web, collection of data, users, subscribers, etc. Simply, one size does not fit all when it comes to privacy policies and terms of use and service. Each must be particular to you and your website.

Whether you’re doing business in Grand Haven, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Mid-West, Country Wide, or World Wide, Attorney Cara Galbavi can help you build the internet law documents that you need based on your specific situation, including:
