When you start creating your Privacy Policy, the first set of questions will be used to determine what privacy laws apply to you, and thus what disclosures your Privacy Policy needs to contain. To answer this question, you should select all of the states of which residents can submit their personal information to your website or application.
"Personal information" is generally defined as any information that could be used to identify a particular person. Examples of personal information include:
- Name;
- Email;
- Physical address;
- Phone number; or
- IP address.
Websites and applications will usually collect this personal information through contact forms or newsletter sign up forms.
