Privacy & Policy

Privacy Policy for
Md. Fariha Tabassum  Blog
Date:- 8May,2020

Blogger/BlogSpot doesn't require you to have a Privacy Policy in all circumstances, but there's a good chance you might need one anyway thanks to regulations from the state of California (CalOPPA) and the European Union (the GDPR).

Both of these laws demand that all websites that collect personal data must have a Privacy Policy. That could even include your Blogger/BlogSpot site.

If you use Google Analytics, add third-party links, or collect any data, then a Privacy Policy is a legal requirement, part of your vendor's Terms of Service, and a smart business decision - even if you're just getting started in the blogosphere. This is my Blog. I post it more types of interesting Post. Stay with me Always.

6. Bottom Line
When and why do bloggers like you need a Privacy Policy? Keep reading to find out.


Blogger is a social media tool from Google, and as such, it does not specifically require a Privacy Policy in its Terms of Use.

The logic behind the lack of requirements is its status as a social media tool. A personal blog would not require you to collect data to process. From that perspective, using a personal Blogger page is the same as running a personal Tumblr blog, Facebook page, or Instagram page.

However, as soon as you monetize your blog, create a newsletter, or collect personal data, you need a Privacy Policy regardless of whether or not Blogger or Google requires it.

What is a Privacy Policy?


A Privacy Policy is a legal document that outlines your data processing practices. It must include information like:

Categories and types of personal data collected
Methods of collection used
Reasons for the collection
Methods of storage and security of the data
Whether third parties have access to the data
These agreements are required by law in some instances, as well as by third-party services, which we'll discuss next.

Why and When You Need a Privacy Policy for a Blog on Blogger/BlogSpot
Not every Blogger account requires a Privacy Policy. If you share pictures and thoughts with family and friends, then you don't need to add one to your site.

However, an increasing number of Blogger/Blogspot accounts do need a Privacy Policy either because the law requires them to have one or they use a third-party service that demands it.

When it's Required: CalOPPA and the GDPR


If you collect any personal information through your Blogger/BlogSpot, then two laws apply - CalOPPA and the GDPR. Personal information can be as basic as collecting email addresses for a newsletter, first names if you allow user comments and IP addresses commonly collected by analytics services.

CalOPPA specifically states that you need a Privacy Policy that outlines all the personal information you collect from California consumers.

The EU's GDPR regulation also requires you to disclose any information you collect about European citizens and residents through your Privacy Policy.

Unless you specifically block your account from consumers with California or EU IP addresses, then people protected by the law can access your site. Because doing that is difficult-to-impossible with an average Blogger/Blogspot account, you need a Privacy Policy.
