Standardised 'Terms of Use' and 'Privacy Policy'

Does anyone know where I can find standardised 'Terms of Use' and 'Privacy Policy' for my site - I'm thinking of something generic that can be modified without too much fuss or lawyers.

thanks in advance.

i don't know of any "standard" terms of use. you can use google, standard terms of use as search term and pull from any of the millions of hits that are handed back. implement the terms you feel are necessary based on what you are going to do with you site.

I have previously found many

I have previously found many "copyright" and "terms of use" generators on the web. In many you are asked a series of questions - priveleges, etc. - and the document is generated for you.

They do exist just start looking.

'Legal' module

For the completeness of thread, it's worth mentioning the 'legal' module (http://drupal.org/project/legal), which can be used to force users to agree to 'terms of use' before posting content.

Weblogs at Harvard Law has

Weblogs at Harvard Law has some great policies - and they use the Creative Commons Public License - so you can use it yourself. And if it's Harvard Law that wrote it, it's probably quality stuff.

The corrected URL for the privacy policy: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/privacy-policy/. ;)

Harvard Law Policies

Those were pretty good. It just took a little work to change everything Harvard to apply to my site, change "blogs" to "content" and write Dirivative work of Weblogs at Harvard Law School under Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons Public License.

I think my "6" is fairly covered now. The privacy policy might even make a few folks behave themselves knowing that I can fetch their records and IP addresses for law enforcement. Lol!

Privacy Policy Generator Here

The DMA.Org offers a free privacy policy generator (this is the direct marketing association)
http://www.dmaresponsibility.org/PPG/
This should do the trick for you until you are making millions=) then you can doll it up with a lawyer.The generated policy is quite thorough and there is some nice info on the site too.
