Want more info about creating your own Privacy Policy? Read the Help Center article.

Last week our team was able to squeeze in a quick feature that some of you had requested. You’re now able to write a Privacy Policy for your network.

You’ll find this new functionality on the Terms of Service page under Settings in your network’s dashboard. Scroll down and you’ll see the new Privacy Policy section. Entering and saving any text here will automatically create a new page at /main/authorization/privacyPolicy, which will have the same look and feel as the existing Terms of Service page. In addition, Privacy Policy links will be added in two places

 

The footer of your network

 

 

The profile question page when a new member is signing up

If you decide that you no longer need to have a Privacy Policy, simply remove all of the text from the Privacy Policy box. The page and links to the page will be removed.

While this might not be the most exciting feature release of all-time, it should be very helpful for some of you. Please note that any custom privacy policy must not conflict with or supersede our own Ning Privacy Policy (http://about.ning.com/privacy.php).

thank you some of the ad networks we belong to have been requesting this but since any custom privacy policy must not conflict with or supersede Nings. Why not just provide creators with a canned version like you have done with Terms of Service.

Thanks Alex!

this is great thanks!

Why is my sign-in graphic now showing over top of my TOS screen, and the text is cut off? It's never been this way before.  I've viewed it in Firefox and Chrome. Same.

I don't think we've changed anything unless you turn this option on. 

No, I've not turned this on.  *sigh*  Thanks Eric.  The good thing is nobody ever reads the TOS, so I can live with it.  LOL

Also, how do you access the Privacy Policy if you've hidden the standard Ning footer?  I need the link to it so I can add it to my custom footer. 

Don't think I can provide any help with a customization that removes the standard footer. You'll find the link leads here: http://networkname.ning.com/main/authorization/privacyPolicy

People may often visit this link when they are in the middle of signing up. You'll see that if you sign up as a new member. Note how that link is structured. 

Eric,

The link is automatically re-directed to the Terms Of Service page on our network.

I type:

http://atheistuniverse.net/main/authorization/privacyPolicy

or 

http://atheistuniverse.ning.com/main/authorization/privacyPolicy

And I get to:

http://atheistuniverse.net/main/authorization/termsOfService?

Is that ticket matter?

My URL may be incorrect. Add text and hit save and go through the sign-up flow and click on privacy policy. You will see the policy in the flow. It works as expected for me.
