Hey guys,

Here is a privacy policy that I like to use on some sites. It covers a good portion, and stays somewhat generic.
Code:
<p>YOUR SITE is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe that it is important you know how we treat the information about you that we receive on the Internet.</p> <h2>Information collected</h2> <p>In general, you may visit the site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about you. Our servers collect the domain names, operating system in use (eg Macintosh, Windows) and browser (eg Netscape, Internet Explorer). This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc.</p> <p>YOUR SITE uses this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site. E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable information such as first and last name, telephone number, and other similar information are known only when voluntarily provided by a visitor for registration or other participation of visitors in any available online interactive activities.</p> <h2>Use of your information</h2> <p>We may use the personal information you provide for any of the following purposes: (1) to understand the use of our site and make improvements; (2) to fulfill prizes; (3) to respond to specific requests from visitors; (4) to protect the security or integrity of our site when necessary; (5) to send you notices and solicitations regarding site and our businesses; and (6) in general to promote and market products to you. These solicitations may take the form of mailings or other couriers, telephone calls, e-mail solicitations and other methods of contact. If you do not want to receive these solicitations from us using your personally identifiable information, please notify us. Before any solicitations are made, we will be in contact with you to ensure that you want to receive them.</p> <p>At times, we may conduct online surveys to better understand the needs and profiles of our visitors. When we conduct a survey, we will try to let you know how we will use the information at the time we collect the information from you on the Internet.</p> <h2>Disclosures of your information</h2> <p>Unless otherwise disclosed during the collection, personally identifiable information that may be collected in connection with visitors to this site is retained by xClaim, LLC. YOUR SITE does not sell, transfer or otherwise disclose this personally identifiable information outside this organization, except where disclosure is required by law.</p> <h2>Other websites</h2> <p>This site may contain links to other sites of third parties. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those other sites. We may revise this privacy policy from time to time. You are responsible for checking this policy when you visit our site to review the current policy. If you do not agree with the policy, you should cease use of the site immediately.</p> <h2>Cookies</h2> <p>A technology called 'cookies' may be used to provide you with tailored information. A 'cookie' is a tiny element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognise you when you return. You may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. Our cookies collect the operating system and browser that a visitor is using.</p>

Good structure but if an individual is planning to build a big site than they need to greatly improve this privacy policy. I don't recommend just placing this on your site and leaving it there, be serious about legal stuff.

Oh definitely, but at the same time, some people just want to let their visitors know that their privacy is of concern yet don't really require something too detailed. The web in general really abides by very few laws, but people still want to feel protected.
