Quick answer

Create a privacy policy page in Showit, publish it, and link to it from your footer. You can use a privacy policy generator to create the content if you don't have one.

How to fix it in Showit

1. Generate a privacy policy using a free tool such as Termly, GetTerms, or your website host's built-in generator

2. In Showit, add a new page called Privacy Policy

3. Paste your privacy policy content onto the page

4. Make sure the page URL is set to /privacy-policy in the Pages panel

5. Publish your changes in Showit

6. Add a link to your privacy policy in your footer so visitors can find it

7. Run a fresh scan in FastaSEO to confirm the privacy policy page is now detected

What's the issue

FastaSEO couldn't find a privacy policy page on your site. A privacy policy explains how you collect, use, and store visitor data — including contact form submissions and analytics. Most privacy laws require this, and Google looks for it as part of site trustworthiness.

Why it matters

  • Privacy policies are legally required under GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and similar laws in many countries. Even if you don't think your site collects data, contact forms, analytics tools, and embedded social content all qualify. Beyond the legal requirement, having a privacy policy builds trust with visitors who want to know their data is handled responsibly. Google also considers site trustworthiness as part of its quality assessment — a missing privacy policy is a gap that's easy to fill.

What good looks like

A published privacy policy page at /privacy-policy. Content covers how you collect, use, and store visitor data. Linked from the footer of every page.

How long this takes

Generating a privacy policy and adding it to Showit takes around ten minutes.
