Until 2004, Web sites were not required to have privacy policies, unless they were governed by specific regulations (such as those applicable to the financial services or health care industries), were aimed at children, or sought to comply with the Safe Harbor Program designed to permit those in the European Union (EU) to transfer personal data to the U.S. But California passed a law, effective in 2004, requiring owners of commercial Web sites or online services to post a privacy policy meeting certain requirements, if the sites or services collect personally identifiable information about individual consumers residing in California.
