Welcome to the guide on Ezoic's Privacy Policy App. Ensuring your website complies with privacy regulations is crucial, especially when displaying ads. This article will provide detailed information on how to set up Ezoic's Privacy Policy App, which helps generate a privacy policy for your site. We'll cover the steps you need to take to configure the app, the type of information you should input, and how to opt for your own privacy policy if preferred. By the end of this guide, you'll have a clear understanding of how to manage your website's privacy policy effectively using Ezoic's tools.

Enabling the Privacy Policy app allows Ezoic to generate a privacy policy for your website. According to Google policy, any site that displays Google Ads must display a privacy policy.

To configure this feature, navigate to the Settings tab in your Dashboard and select Privacy. From there, you can choose the Privacy Policy App.

The details you input into this app will be shown to your users on your site's privacy policy page, so it is crucial to only provide information you are comfortable sharing publicly on the internet.

Once set up, Ezoic will generate a privacy policy for your site, which will resemble the format of https://g.ezoic.net/privacy/mywebsite.com.

However, if you prefer to use your own privacy policy, you can do so by entering the URL for your policy into the 'Privacy Policy Link' box within the app. If you choose to disable Ezoic's automatically generated policy while using your own, you should either:

1. Include a link to the Ezoic generated policy, which can be found under Settings > Privacy > Privacy Policy > View Documentation.
   OR
2. Include a placeholder where Ezoic can embed the privacy policy. For this option, you need to insert a specific HTML snippet on your privacy policy page. This snippet is available in your dashboard under Settings > Privacy > Privacy Policy > View Documentation. It should look like this:
   

By following these steps, you ensure that your website remains compliant with Google's policies and properly informs users about privacy practices.

1. Regularly Review and Update Your Privacy Policy: Ensure that the information in your privacy policy is current and accurate. Regularly reviewing and updating it can help maintain compliance with evolving regulations and user expectations.
2. Custom Privacy Policy URL: If you choose to use your own privacy policy, remember to enter your custom URL in the 'Privacy Policy Link' box within the app. This ensures that users are directed to the correct document.
3. Embed Ezoic's Policy: If you prefer to integrate Ezoic's generated privacy policy into your own, use the provided HTML snippet on your privacy policy page. This can help seamlessly embed the required information without having to create a separate policy document.
4. Transparency with Users: Be mindful of the information you input into the Privacy Policy App, as it will be displayed publicly. Only include information you are comfortable sharing on the internet to maintain transparency with your users.
5. Compliance with Google Policies: Adhering to Google’s policy on privacy, especially if you display Google Ads, is crucial. Ensure that your privacy policy includes necessary disclosures about the use of cookies and data collection methods as stipulated by Google.

By following these best practices, you can ensure that your privacy policy is comprehensive, compliant, and user-friendly.
