Recommendations

  • 01
    Link to the applicable policy
    The target can be a standalone privacy policy or a relevant section of a broader document. Make its scope clear.
  • 02
    Keep a visible policy link
    Head metadata is easy for people to miss. Also provide a visible link wherever users need to review the policy.
  • 03
    Keep the policy accurate
    The relation only identifies a document. It does not show that the policy matches the site's behavior or meets legal requirements.
