Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Clad ([yourdomain.com]) collects, how it’s used, and the choices you have.
This is a starter template, not legal advice. Update every bracketed placeholder to reflect what your site actually does (analytics, email signups, ads, affiliate cookies, etc.), and have it reviewed by a legal professional before publishing — requirements differ depending on where your readers are located (e.g. GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California).
