How to Add Privacy Policy to Wix

Adding a privacy policy to your Wix website is essential for maintaining user trust and meeting legal requirements like GDPR.

This guide walks you through creating, embedding, and customizing a privacy policy on your Wix website, step-by-step.

Why Add a Privacy Policy to Your Wix Website?

Whether you're collecting emails or using analytics tools, a privacy policy helps ensure transparency and legal compliance. Most countries legally require a privacy policy when collecting personal data.

How to Create a Privacy Policy on Wix

You can either write your own policy or use a privacy policy generator. Wix also provides templates and apps to make this easier.

Use Wix’s built-in privacy policy generator

1. Go to your Wix Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Cookies.
3. Select Create a Privacy Policy to use Wix’s template.

Use third-party generators (optional)

You can also use trusted tools like PrivacyPolicies.com or TermsFeed to create tailored policies.

How to Add a Privacy Policy Page in Wix

Once you have your content, add it to a new page in the Wix Editor.

1. Open the Wix Editor.
2. Click the Pages & Menu icon on the left panel.
3. Click + Add Page and name it "Privacy Policy."
4. Paste your policy text into a Text Box.
5. Style and format the content as needed.
6. Click Publish to make the page live.

How to Embed a Privacy Policy on Existing Pages

If you'd rather embed the policy in a section like your footer or homepage, use an HTML iFrame or link element.

1. In the Wix Editor, go to the section you want to embed the policy.
2. Click + Add > Embed Code > HTML iframe.
3. Paste the embed code or use a link to your policy page.

Add a Footer Link to Your Privacy Policy

Most websites include a link to their privacy policy in the footer. Here’s how to do it in Wix:

1. Open Wix Editor and scroll to the footer section.
2. Click + Add > Text, and write "Privacy Policy."
3. Highlight the text and click the link icon.
4. Select Page and choose your "Privacy Policy" page.

Customize the Policy to Match Your Business

Tailor your policy to include details about:

• Types of personal data you collect
• Cookies and tracking tools
• How you store and protect user data
• Third-party services (e.g., analytics, ads, apps)
• Contact information for privacy inquiries

Use the Wix privacy policy template as a starting point, but always update it to reflect your specific setup.

Ensure GDPR and Other Compliance

If your audience is based in the EU or other regions with strict privacy laws, compliance is critical. Use Wix’s tools to help:
