Critique: What is Missing & Improvements Needed

While the policy above covers the essentials for a new blog, legal compliance for blogs (especially those targeting the USA and potentially the EU) is strict. Here is what is missing or could be improved:

1. CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) Clause

  • Why it’s missing: Even if you don’t live in California, if you get traffic from there (which you will, targeting US moms), you must comply.
  • Improvement: You need a section explicitly stating that California residents have the right to request what data you have on them and request its deletion.
  • Action: Add a “Your California Privacy Rights” section.

2. GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

  • Why it’s missing: If anyone from Europe visits your site, you are subject to GDPR.
  • Improvement: You need a clearer breakdown of “Data Retention” (how long you keep emails) and a “User Rights” section (Right to Access, Right to be Forgotten).
  • Action: Many WordPress plugins (like Complianz) can auto-generate this specific legal text for you based on your location.

3. Cookie Consent Banner (The “Pop-Up”)

  • The Gap: A Privacy Policy text isn’t enough. You legally need a physical banner on your site that asks users to “Accept Cookies” before you start tracking them with Google Analytics.
  • Improvement: Install a plugin like CookieYes or Complianz. These plugins will also help you generate the exact legal wording needed for the “Cookies” section of your policy.

4. Comment Policy

  • The Gap: You didn’t specify what happens if someone is rude or leaves spam.
  • Improvement: Add a brief line: “We reserve the right to delete any comments that are deemed offensive, spammy, or irrelevant without notice.” This protects your brand image.

5. Future Ad Network Requirements (Mediavine/Raptive)

  • The Gap: Premium ad networks (which pay the best) require very specific wording in your privacy policy about how they collect data.
  • Improvement: You don’t need this now, but once you reach 50,000 sessions and apply to Mediavine, they will force you to update this policy. Just be aware that this document will evolve as you grow.
