Prior to your asking I hadn't noticed that EPN specifies what our privacy policies need to include. Here is what eBay's EPN agreement states regarding affiliates and privacy policies: "Your Privacy Policy. You will conspicuously post a privacy policy on your website or otherwise make it available to all end users. Your privacy policy must comply with all laws and regulations regarding the privacy of visitor information, be commercially reasonable, and fully and accurately disclose your collection, use and disclosure of visitor information. You will fully and accurately disclose your use of third-party technology, including ePN's tracking technology, use of cookies and options for discontinuing use of such cookies." Honestly, I'm not sure how to word that we use EPN. So, I emailed eBay and asked what they expect this to say. I just sent the email tonight and my experience is that they can take a week or more to respond. But, I will post what they say after I hear back from them. Rochelle Brian,

I would rather add it to my footer than to my main page. I'd greatly appreciate if you let me know how to do this! Thanks again for your help! Rita Dear Rochelle,

I haven't seen that eBay's EPN requires sites to have a privacy policy but there are two good reasons to have one anyway. 1) Google requires all sites that display AdSense ads to have a privacy policy so if you use AdSense you need to have one. 2) Google and other search engines like sites to have privacy policies and may rank them higher than comparable sites that don't have them. I suggest you add them because they can only help your sites. Rochelle Chand,
