I have developed a small side project which I will post on here when it's ready to go.
It's not meant to make any money and I only store a very small amount of info - it uses OpenID only to login/register.
Do I need a T&C / privacy policy?
If so, is there a template for one lying around? I don't want to spend much time on this - I want to launch the project and move on to the next one.
Cheers

As for a template? Scribd is always a good place to look.
but if you decide to host any user generated content or something it might be a good idea to throw some kinda disclaimer up
WordPress released theirs under creative commons and encourages others to use it. I'd recommend borrowing theirs.
Just a warning - Wordpress.com is using a 90s-inspired snow effect on the entire site. Why they chose to do so is beyond me. I seriously thought I was going blind at first, before I realized what was happening.

To add to this question, would it make sense to setup a limited liability company to release a side project under? If something really goes wrong, and some big company or rich individual decides to sue you (for whatever reason), you probably don't want your personal assets to be up for grabs. As I understand it, if you are operating as a limited liability company, someone can sue your company out of existence and basically shut you down, but at least they cannot have your house or personal savings!

White snow effect..... on a white background. Genius.
I have been thinking about this very problem myself recently. To add to this question, would it make sense to setup a limited liability company to release a side project under?

But, if this is the case, releasing these side projects suddenly becomes a whole lot less fun (never mind desirable).
It even costs more.
If there were some kind of trustworthy company, that could act as an umbrella for side projects - i.e. standard T&C / privacy policy let the developer maintain some kind of ownership rights etc.
does this sound ridiculous?
I would still release it under a LLC you own, just to protect yourself. But if not, at least spend a few bucks to hide your whois info.
