I agree with the need for a privacy policy. I don't publish living people on
my county pages.
At some point I read on this list a discussion about the cut-off year for
publishing information - I had it in my head persons with birthdates after
1920 - but that's just what I remember. I have used that as my rule-of-thumb
since.
With tombstones - I don't publish the stone if there is a living person's
name on half the stone - or crop the picture to leave that part of the stone
off. Somehow it bothers me to publish a headstone for someone who is still
living.
I don't have a privacy policy published on my pages - but I think it's a
good thing to do and will put a policy on the front pages asap.

Other than Bob Franks, how many of you already have a privacy policy?
If
so, is that policy stated on your Web site?
