Privacy Policy

A legal disclaimer

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Privacy Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific privacy policies you wish to establish between your business and your customers and visitors. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy - the basics

Having said that, a privacy policy is a statement that discloses some or all of the ways a website collects, uses, discloses, processes, and manages the data of its visitors and customers. It usually also includes a statement regarding the website’s commitment to protecting its visitors’ or customers’ privacy, and an explanation about the different mechanisms the website is implementing in order to protect privacy. 

 

Different jurisdictions have different legal obligations of what must be included in a Privacy Policy. You are responsible to make sure you are following the relevant legislation to your activities and location. 

What to include in the Privacy Policy

Generally speaking, a Privacy Policy often addresses these types of issues: the types of information the website is collecting and the manner in which it collects the data; an explanation about why is the website collecting these types of information; what are the website’s practices on sharing the information with third parties; ways in which your visitors and customers can exercise their rights according to the relevant privacy legislation; the specific practices regarding minors’ data collection; and much, much more.

From the candidate . . .

Forward to an affordable,

sustainable Alabama!

 

The analysis is clear: In Alabama--one of the poorest states--most of us pay more for electricity than the national average. Science too is clear: A broad-front cut in carbon emissions is vital to protect our children and grandchildren from further global warming and catastrophic climate costs. Even if some carbon-based energy remains necessary into the distant future, we’ve reached an “all hands on deck” moment in history when every person, organization, and institution worldwide must think hard how best to advance to more sustainable, low-carbon energy sources.

​

And here's good news: A thoughtful shift to low-carbon energy can save consumers money--even consumers who continue to rely on traditional carbon-fueled generation! That's because a key driver of utility rates is the cost of utility infrastructure. As energy needs grow--especially for power-hog AI data centers--utility capacity and infrastructure must grow to meet demand. Data centers should pay their own full power costs. And promoting rooftop solar and the like will help limit new generating costs necessarily passed on to ratepayers. 

 

Utilities share responsibility for an affordable, livable future. Our Public Service Commission should play a decisive, in-public role in setting utility goals and expectations with broad collaboration among stakeholders. Do you want a voice on the PSC demanding consumer-friendly energy policy, strategy, and investment? If so, I need your support! Please share word of my candidacy with family, friends, and others. Invite me to speak at your club, church, or other civic organization anywhere in Alabama.

 

And as you can, please give to John Northrop for PSC! We expect no big donations in this campaign. It will take a multitude of small gifts to fund even a modest operation, much less the robust statewide effort we most need. Yet regardless of funding, I'm committed to carrying this message as far and wide as possible. I hope you're with me!
