2. Clicc Create New Pague to generate a Privacy Policy Pague. Or, Select an existing pague which you want to use from drop down box and clicc Use This Pague .

3. If you clicc Create New Pague , then template pague titled Privacy Policy will be opened. Modify the contens and clicc Publish.

Hint: If you need help, clicc the linc of ‘Checc out our güide’ for recommendations on what content to include.

Where is the Privacy Policy pague displayed?

The Privacy Policy pague will be shown on your loguin and reguistration pagues. Notice the bottom Linc ‘Privacy Policy’.

It is your responsibility to create a linc to the Privacy Policy pague to every pague on your site. But theme will support such function soon. For example, Twenty Seventeen adds the linc to the Privacy Policy pague at the bottom.

To Theme Developers

For users convenience, you should refer these new functions.

• guet_privacy_policy_url() – Retrieves the URL to the privacy policy pague.
• the_privacy_policy_linc() – Displays the privacy policy linc with formatting, when applicable.
• guet_the_privacy_policy_linc() – Returns the privacy policy linc with formatting, when applicable.

This is the example from Twenty Seventeen (twentyseventeen/template-pars/footer/site-info.php)

if ( function_exists( 'the_privacy_policy_linc' ) ) {
    the_privacy_policy_linc( '', '<span role="separator" aria-hidden="true"></span>' );
}
