Disclaimer

The copyright notice specifies the terms upon which the copyright material on a website is
licensed to users.
Countries which have signed up to the Berne Convention should ensure that there are no
formalistic pre-requisites to copyright protection under their laws. For this reason, under the
laws of Berne Convention countries copyright will subsist in a website even where there are
no copyright notices. However, you should still include a copyright notice because it clarifies
permitted uses of the material on the website, and under some legal systems a copyright
notice will benefit you if you need to enforce the copyright.
Copyright notices sometimes form part of another legal documents such as a terms of use
or terms and conditions document.
Data protection law (in the European Union), data privacy law (in the United
States/Kingdom), and similar laws in other jurisdictions protect individuals from the misuse
of their personal information
An important element of these laws is the requirement of disclosure: what personal
information will be collected? How will it be stored? How will it be used? The purpose of a
website privacy statement is to help website owners with these kinds of disclosure
requirement.
