Are you looking to add a privacy policy to your WordPress site? A privacy policy tells your visitors what information you collect when they visit your site. In this video, we’ll show you how to add a privacy policy to your WordPress site!
WordPress has a built in template that you can start with by logging into your site, going under Settings, Privacy and it should bring up a page with the option to either select an already created page or create a brand new page. Either choose a page or create a new one to begin setting up your privacy policy.
If you’re creating a new page WordPress will bring you to the page where you can begin to edit each section based on the specific needs of your site. It will act the same as any other page in terms of publishing options that you can use.
With that page set up, you now want to give your users a method to display it. You could either add it to a menu or if your theme has a footer widget area, add it to your footer for your visitors.

Great video! I am following all of the steps, when I add a navigation menu to the footer widget and then add the privacy policy it does not appear on the footer on my website. Is there anything anyone would suggest to do?
Can you do a new version? Some of this is out of date.

Thanks, very useful information.
HI do you have any tips to Terms and Condictions ?
I believe the default "Privacy Policy" of WordPress covers all basic stuff, right? For instance if you are running a real estate site, would it be necessary to edit anything there?
I can’t find privacy setting.
Hey WPBeginner! Do you know if I need a sitemap.xml file for a WordPress site? I use Yoast SEO but I'm not sure ıf they take care of that?
You ended up with two entries in the footer for Privacy Policy. I suspect you should not have added it in both the widgets and menu screens.
It's very helpful. Thanks to wpbeginer for making these kind of video tutorial.
