Answer: No statutes presently require websites to have or disclose a privacy policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Privacy Policy refers to a legal document or statement which states how an organization or website collects, and processes the data of the visitors and the customers.

The FTC Act is an act regarding the unfair practices in commerce. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act was put in place so as to prevent the unauthorized access of the government to private electronic communications.

Based on the options given, there is no statute that requires Burns to have and disclose a privacy policy to anyone using the website. Therefore, the answer is D.
