Add a privacy policy to my website

Many countries have enacted laws that require businesses to provide information about how they collect, handle, and process personal data gathered from visitors to their websites. We recommend consulting with legal counsel to determine if you require a privacy policy and, if so, what information it should contain and provide.

This video is part of the How-To series for Adding Advanced Functionality in Website Builder

1. Go to your GoDaddy product page.
2. Scroll to Website Builder and select Manage next to your website to open your site.
3. Select Edit Website or Edit Site to open your website builder.
4. Go to the page and location you want to add a section for your privacy policy, and add a section.

Note: The first time a new European Union customer launches Website Builder, it adds a link in the footer to a blank Privacy Policy section in the site.

5. Search for the Privacy Policy section and select Add.
6. Customize the Accent color and Title. Write or paste your privacy policy into the text box. If necessary, you can customize your text to include bold, italic, lists and links.
7. When you're ready, select Done.
8. Your changes are saved automatically. Use Preview to see the results and when you're ready to make the changes public, publish your site.
