Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit the cookie and plugin data sections of my privacy policy?

No. The sections populated with cookie and plugin data — such as "With whom we share the collected personal information" — are generated automatically from your scan results and cannot be edited manually. To update this data, trigger a new website rescan from the Scan Report page.

What happens to my privacy policy if I reset my choices?

Resetting reverts all your policy generator answers to their defaults. Your previously generated policy will be replaced when you complete the generator again. Any manual text edits made in Preview and edit will be lost — ensure you have saved any custom content before resetting.

Which plan do I need to use the Privacy Policy feature?

The Privacy Policy generator and embed features are available on Plus, Business, and Enterprise plans. See the full feature comparison on the Secure Privacy pricing page.
