Include categories: personal information, usage data, cookies/tracking, and third-party data. Be specific — replace vague terms like "information" with exact data points. **3.

Add a friendly but trustworthy tone. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Include a note that this is a template and should be reviewed by a qualified legal professional before publication.
