# privacy-policy

Links to information about the data collection and usage practices that apply to the current page.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<link rel="privacy-policy" href="/legal/privacy">
```

Points to the privacy policy that applies to the current page.

Avoid this example

```
<link rel="privacy-policy" href="/legal/terms">
```

Labels terms of service as a privacy policy. Use the relation that matches the target document.

## 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.
