Standard privacy policy for forums?

Sanguine

Now that Facebook Login requires a privacy policy, does anyone know a good one that is tailored for forums/Flarum? It would be nice if people wouldn't have to invent their own policy but can use a good off-the-shelve one.

Sanguine You can use this website to generate a good privacy policy. Now each website owner has it's own plan for using private information of it's members so, it's best that everyone create it's own privacy policy. Moreover, privacy policy also depends on the method of income used by the owner of the website like ads, affiliate marketing, services, selling and another if he likes.

I actually wrote up the privacy policy for Flarum with some help from other members in the team and from Discourse as Toby mentioned below. Didn't take all that long, you just have to make sure that the details in the privacy policy relate to your forum and its users otherwise it'll sound weird.

You can check it out here. ?

Credit where credit is due: our privacy policy was adapted by @Prosperous from the Discourse privacy policy, which is simple and tailored specifically for forums. So that's a great place to start if you're looking to make your own.
