Interesting question, and one I've been debating with myself for a bit too - I have a launch page setup for my new side project, currently in development but put a page up to gather interest.
Would folks expect a some terms or a privacy policy to be applied to this? All it is collecting is an email for notification of launch, and this is hosted by MailChimp. I suspect a ToS is overkill, but a privacy policy may be sensible for folks?
Technically, you're required by law to have a privacy policy, at least in most places. If you're collecting emails I'd say you should have one.
I was mostly curious what people do with their free sideprojects being a single github.io page with possibly Google Analytics or something. You are still technically breaching the GA ToS by not having one, but it seems a bit of a hassle.
