Every page you publish with ConvertPages has a built-in Privacy Policy link in the footer. Click it and a modal opens with your policy text inside — no separate page to host, no extra URLs to manage. This guide walks you through setting it up, what to put in it, and why it matters for paid ads and email compliance.
Why this matters: Facebook, Google, TikTok, and most ad networks require a privacy policy on any page that collects email addresses. Mail providers like Gmail also look for one when deciding whether to flag your emails as spam. Skipping it is the fastest way to get an ad account suspended.
The template below is a starting point, not legal advice. If you're in a regulated niche (finance, health, EU traffic), have a lawyer review it.
Every ConvertPages template — bridge and squeeze — has a footer with three editable parts:
You set the Privacy Policy text once in Page Settings, and the link in the footer pops it up when visitors click. They never leave your page, you don't need a separate hosted policy URL, and there's no SEO penalty for duplicate policy content across multiple pages.
You can use basic HTML in the Privacy Content field — paragraphs (<p>), bold (<b> or <strong>), headings (<h4>), and lists (<ul>, <li>) all work. This lets you format a longer policy nicely without it being a wall of text.
Here's a basic privacy policy template suitable for an affiliate squeeze or bridge page that collects email addresses. Copy, customise the bracketed parts, paste into your Privacy Content field.

Replace the bracketed parts with your real details. The whole policy fits comfortably in the Privacy Content textarea.
While you're polishing your footer, the other two fields are worth setting too:
Click the website name in the footer (preview area) to edit it inline. Use the real name of your business or site — this builds trust and is often what Facebook ads review looks at to verify legitimacy.
Click the disclaimer to edit it. Common patterns:
Facebook strictly requires a privacy policy on landing pages that collect email addresses. Their automated review crawls your page looking for the link. Make sure:
Google has similar requirements. Their reviewers tend to be stricter about the policy actually being accurate — so don't just paste a generic template and forget to replace [YOUR BUSINESS NAME] with your real details.
If you run traffic from EU countries, GDPR applies and your policy should explicitly mention:
The starter template above covers these in plain English. For high-volume EU campaigns, consider a proper lawyer-reviewed policy generator like Termly, iubenda, or TermsFeed.
CAN-SPAM is about the emails you send, not your landing page — but your landing page should still set expectations: tell visitors what they're signing up to receive and how often.
Not directly — the Privacy Policy link in the footer is hard-wired to open the modal. If you want to link to an external policy, you can use the HTML Block feature to add a custom footer link instead, or hand-edit the template.
No — but each page has its own Privacy Content setting, so you need to paste your policy into each page individually. If you're building lots of pages, paste it once, then use the Duplicate feature on the dashboard to clone pages with the policy already filled in.
Yes — and that's the recommended approach. Save your finalised policy text somewhere safe (Google Doc, notes app) and paste it into the Privacy Content field of every page you publish.
Update the policy on any live pages that reference it. Visitors who already opted in are governed by the policy that was active when they signed up — but for future opt-ins, your current policy applies.
Yes. The privacy modal is responsive and works on every screen size. Long policies scroll inside the modal so the rest of the page doesn't shift.
If the privacy link isn't showing up on your published page, or you have a compliance question we haven't covered, contact support.
