A privacy policy details your company’s views and procedures related to the collection of information on people who use your system. It's important to let your users know how you are going to use the information you are requesting, and to tell users who to contact should they have questions. In some jurisdictions, such as California, you are required to post your privacy policy by law. In the EU, the [[General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)]] and the e-privacy directive oblige you to display a privacy notice containing specific elements on your system. Failure to do so can result in fines.

You can create a '''privacy policy''' for your system by going to the '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' Tab > '''Privacy and Security Policies''' link.
You might consider starting by creating a policy without any role or country permissions, allowing users who haven't signed in or don't yet exist in the system to view the policy from the signup page. Alternatively, you can attach a privacy policy to the login page so that users see it upon their first login, depending on their roles and country. Once the policy is created and activated, you can attach it to the user signup page by selecting the policy in the '''Attach Policies''' input field.
