Aurora: Configure privacy policy

You can enable a privacy policy for your community to ensure your members know how your community collects, uses, and protects their personal data. Your privacy policy can be linked to an external URL or built within your Aurora community. You can designate your policy as required reading for registration or just provide a link on the registration window for new members.

Depending on what you’re going for, building your privacy policy within Aurora creates a seamless experience with consistent branding, while linking to an external URL enables you to use one central location where your document lives so you don’t have to update it in multiple places. 

For localized communities, you can provide privacy policies in all your available community languages to ensure that all members of your community are aligned on security regardless of language.

Provide link to privacy policy on registration window

  1. Open the Account menu and select Settings.
  2. Go to System > Account > Registration.
  3. To add your guidelines to the registration window, turn on the Add privacy policy link to registration page toggle.
  4. (Optional) To require new members to select a checkbox indicating that they read and agree to the privacy policy, select Edit, and then select the Acceptance required checkbox.
  5. To designate whether you want to host the guidelines on your community or link to an existing page, select Edit, and then select Community or External

Set up a privacy policy on your community

Whether your members reach your privacy policy from the registration window or elsewhere in your community, you can edit them from right within your community to ensure a seamless experience.

  1. After selecting Community, select Save.
  2. Select View/Edit Privacy Policy.
  3. On the Privacy Policy page that opens, select Edit Privacy Policy.
  4. Select a language from the drop-down menu.
  5. Select Continue.
  6. Enter your privacy policy.
  7. Repeat for your other community languages.

Link to an external privacy policy

  1. On the Edit Privacy Policy window, for all of your community languages, enter the URL to your privacy policy.
    Note: If you do not provide a URL for a particular language, members who select the privacy policy link while in that language are redirected to the privacy policy URL for your community’s default language. If the default language’s URL is also missing, members are redirected to the community-based privacy policy page.
  2. Select Save.
