Having a privacy policy page is a must. If you collect emails, names, or any personal data, you need to tell people how you handle it. Good news! It’s super easy to add one to your MailerLite account.
Why Do You Need a Privacy Policy?
A privacy policy builds trust. It also keeps you compliant with laws like GDPR and CCPA. If you’re sending emails or running a website, you should have one.
MailerLite makes it simple to add a privacy policy page. Let’s walk through the steps together!
Step 1: Write Your Privacy Policy
If you don’t have one yet, don’t worry. You can use a free privacy policy generator. Many websites offer templates that cover all the basics.
Your privacy policy should include:
- What data you collect
- How you use that data
- How users can opt out or request deletion
- Contact information
Once you have your privacy policy, copy it because you’ll need it in the next step.
