Setting Up Your Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and Cookie Consent
Privacy Policy
Your privacy policy informs members about how their data is collected, used, and protected. To set this up:
Create a Privacy Policy: Draft a clear and comprehensive privacy policy that complies with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
Add the Link: In the App Station, go to Settings > Branding & Design > Footer & About. Here, you can add a link to your privacy policy in the footer of your app.
Terms of Service
Your terms of service outline the rules and guidelines for using your app. To set this up:
Draft Terms of Service: Write a detailed terms of service document that covers user responsibilities, limitations of liability, and other essential legal aspects.
Add the Link: Similar to the privacy policy, add the link to your terms of service in the footer under Settings > Branding & Design > Footer & About.
Cookie Consent
Cookie consent is crucial for compliance with privacy laws. To implement cookie consent:
Enable Cookie Consent: Go to Settings > Offers > Checkout Settings in the App Station.
Customize the Message: Write a clear message explaining the use of cookies and provide an option for members to accept or decline.
Legal Acceptance Tracking for Members
The legal acceptance system ensures that your members explicitly accept your legal documents. Here’s how it works:
First-Time Acceptance: When a member logs in for the first time, they will see a modal that requires them to accept the privacy policy and terms of service before accessing the app.
Update Acceptance: If you update any legal documents, existing members will be prompted to accept the new versions upon their next login. A grace period can be set for this acceptance, allowing members some time to review the changes.
Audit Trail: Each acceptance is recorded with details such as the member's IP address and the timestamp, ensuring compliance tracking.
Important Notes
Only the app owner can accept the legal documents; admins will see a notification if the owner hasn't accepted.
Ensure that your legal documents are accessible publicly at URLs like
/legal/privacy-policyand/legal/terms-of-servicefor transparency.
