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.
