Introduction
Having a clear and accessible Privacy Policy on your website is essential—not only to comply with legal requirements but also to build trust with your visitors. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to locate your Privacy Policy page, customize it to fit your unique business needs, and add a convenient link to your website’s footer so visitors can easily find it.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access Your Website Dashboard
- Log in to your website’s dashboard.
- Navigate to the Pages section.
Step 2: Locate Your Privacy Policy Page

Step 3: Review and Edit Your Privacy Policy
- Open the draft Privacy Policy page.
- Read through the entire content carefully.
- Remove any sections that don’t apply to your business.
- Add or update details about how your business collects and uses data (e.g., contact forms, pixels, Google Analytics).
- Remember, every business is unique, so avoid publishing a generic policy.
Step 4: Publish the Privacy Policy Page
- After editing, click the Publish button to make the page live.
Step 5: Add the Privacy Policy Link to Your Footer
- Go to Settings in your dashboard.
- Select the Footer section.
- Add a new paragraph block at the bottom of the footer.
