## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I customize the link text displayed to visitors?

Yes. Before copying the Link code, update the **Hyperlink text** field in the Secure Privacy embed settings to display the text you want visitors to see — such as "Privacy Policy" or "View our Privacy Policy."

### Where is the best place to add the privacy policy link on my website?

The most common locations are the page footer — where it is visible on every page — and alongside consent forms, checkout pages, and sign-up flows where visitors are providing personal data. Adding it in these locations helps meet GDPR transparency requirements at the point of data collection.

### Does the link need to be updated when my privacy policy changes?

No. The hyperlink embed code loads your policy content dynamically from Secure Privacy, so the link always points to your current, up-to-date policy. You do not need to update the embed code on your page after making changes to your policy.
