Hi Sarah,

A couple of resources for you:

New York Public Library recently revised their privacy policy. You can read
the policy at
https://www.nypl.org/help/about-nypl/legal-notices/privacy-policy and, if
you're curious about the process they took in revising the policy, you can
read about the process at
https://chooseprivacyweek.org/the-path-to-a-creating-a-new-privacy-policy/.

MPOW (The Seattle Public Library) has a couple of policies posted at
http://www.spl.org/about-the-library/library-use-policies/confidentiality-of-patron-information
and
http://www.spl.org/privacy/the-seattle-public-library-website-privacy-notice

You might want to check out the ALA Privacy Guidelines and Checklists at
http://www.ala.org/advocacy/privacy/guidelines for further examples of and
guidelines for privacy policies.

Have fun!

Cheers,
Becky
