Either collected storing information of the users while they are surfing on your blog. How you are dealing with their data and the distribution or usage of their data.  That privacy policy describe how information flow on like some data collected via webmaster or analytics.

If you display third-party ads or collect and share any kind of information about your blog visitors such as email addresses, however, then you need to have a more explicit privacy policy that clearly explains what information you collect and how you use or share it.

Many blog advertising opportunities require you to publish a specific privacy policy on your blog. For example, ​Google AdSense provides specific privacy language to blog publishers that explicitly explains how Google uses information collected about your blog’s visitors. Even if you don’t participate in an advertising program that requires you to publish a privacy policy, it’s a good idea to have one.
