FAQ
WordPress privacy policy questions, answered
Everything you need to know about privacy policies on WordPress sites.
-
Does WordPress require a privacy policy?
WordPress itself does not legally require a privacy policy, but the platform includes a dedicated Privacy page under Settings since version 4.9.6 because GDPR effectively makes it mandatory for any WordPress site with EU visitors. If your site uses Jetpack, Akismet, Google Analytics, or any plugin that collects data, you legally need a privacy policy. -
Can I use WordPress's default privacy policy template?
WordPress includes a generic privacy policy template under Settings → Privacy. It's a useful starting point, but it does not detect the specific plugins running on your site, the cookies they set, or your actual data practices. Termerly's generator reads your real site and produces an accurate policy. -
How do I add the policy to my WordPress site?
Two steps: (1) Pages → Add New → paste Termerly's policy → publish; (2) Settings → Privacy → select that page as your Privacy Policy. WordPress will then automatically link the policy from comment forms, the login screen, and any GDPR-aware plugins. -
Does Termerly cover WooCommerce stores?
Yes. If WooCommerce is detected, the generated policy includes e-commerce-specific clauses: customer accounts, order data, payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Square), shipping carriers, abandoned cart recovery, and tax calculation services. -
What about Jetpack, Akismet, and other Automattic plugins?
Termerly's AI detects Jetpack, Akismet, and other Automattic services if they're active and includes the right disclosure language for the data each plugin sends to Automattic's servers (Akismet comment spam analysis, Jetpack site stats, etc.). -
Does the policy include cookie disclosures for my WordPress site?
The privacy policy mentions cookies at a high level. For a full cookie inventory with category and duration per cookie, Termerly's separate cookie policy generator is the right tool. Most WordPress sites need both, especially if they sell to EU customers.
