What's the issue

FastaSEO found that you have a privacy policy page on your site but it is not linked from your footer. The footer is the standard location for privacy policy links — visitors who want to find it will look there first.

Why it matters

  • Linking to your privacy policy in the footer is a legal best practice in most countries — including under GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California. It also builds trust with visitors who want to know how their data is handled before filling in a contact form or making an enquiry. A footer without a privacy policy link can reduce trust and may create legal exposure.

What good looks like

A Privacy Policy link in the footer that points to your published privacy policy page. Usually sits alongside your copyright notice and other legal links.

How long this takes

Adding a footer link takes under two minutes.
