In this chapter, we will learn about Privacy settings in WordPress. With the introduction of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), WordPress now makes it easier to add a Privacy Policy page to your website.
Whilst the GDPR is a European regulation, its requirements applies to all sites no matter where they’re located, and its purpose is to help inform EU residents how a website collects, stores and processes their personal data.
The Privacy settings enables you to select an existing Privacy Policy page, if you already have one. If you don’t already have a Privacy Policy page, you can click the Create New Page button and WordPress will create a new page for you and also populate it with some suggested text. Prior to publishing this Privacy Policy page, please ensure you read it thoroughly to ensure that the content accurately reflects your website and policies. This pre-populated content also includes several blank sections which are recommended to be filled in.
Your selected Privacy Policy page will be shown on your Login and Registration pages. It’s also recommended that you add a link to your Privacy Policy on every page of your website. If you have a footer section on your site, this is a great place to add it.
As a website owner, you may need to follow national or international privacy laws. For example, you may need to create and display a Privacy Policy. If you already have a Privacy Policy page, please select it below. If not, please create one.
The new page will include help and suggestions for your Privacy Policy. However, it is your responsibility to use those resources correctly, to provide the information that your Privacy Policy requires, and to keep that information current and accurate.
After your Privacy Policy page is set, you should edit it. You should also review your Privacy Policy from time to time, especially after installing or updating any themes or plugins. There may be changes or new suggested information for you to consider adding to your policy.
