: Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for subdomains in USA I have a site which has two sub domains. One is forum and another is listing site. The main site has privacy policy. Do I need to

@Sarah324

You don't need to have separate Privacy Policy and/or Terms of Use.

These legal agreements are binding between the company that operates the website/mobile app and users.

If multiple subdomains and main websites are operated and owned by the same company, then the company can have just one Privacy Policy and one Terms of Use.

What you should look after is:


Making sure that both legal agreements are based on what personal information you collect, use and store from all subdomains and websites.

For example, if you collect location data from a subdomain, but not from another, your Privacy Policy should mention this.
That you link to both legal agreements from all subdomains and websites since they share the same agreements.

Terms of Services and Privacy Policies depend on the legal entity behind a website. They shouldn't be done based on how domain or subdomain are structured.

I mean: if your forum is managed and owned by the same entity of the main domain, you don't need to have them separate. It's enough to have 1 privacy policy and 1 terms of service page.

But remember that your Privacy Policy page and Terms Of Services pages should include forum and listing sites terms and policies, and they should be linked to from both.
