Today is already April 13, 2009, five (5) days after the deadline set by Google to all of their Adsense Publishers to update their websites’ Privacy Policy.
Last month, The Google AdSense Team had emailed to all of their Adsense Publishers and announced their upcoming launch of “interest-based advertising”. And thus, requires all Adsense Publishers to review and make necessary changes to their websites’ privacy policies.
If you are still on the process of figuring out on how to reflect this required changes in your website’s privacy policy, I have posted here a copy of this updated Adsense Privacy Policy which you can freely use to your website/s.
Simply Copy the whole text as written below and paste this directly to your website’s privacy policy page.
