How to add a privacy policy
Privacy laws and ad platforms expect a clear policy that visitors can find.
Why it matters
Laws like GDPR and CCPA require one if you collect any personal data, even an email on a contact form. Google Ads, Meta and app stores can reject or pause you without one.
Steps
- Write down what data you collect, why, who you share it with and how long you keep it.
- Publish it as a page at /privacy.
- Link to it from the footer of every page and from any form that collects data.
- Have a professional review it if you handle sensitive data.
Check it worked
From any page on your site, you should reach the policy in one click from the footer. Rescan to confirm it is detected.
