Change Privacy Statement

The default privacy statement is added to your DotNetNuke website via the skin. The details are slightly different dependant upon whether you are createing your skin as a .ascx or an HTML file:

.HTML
At the location where you wish for the link to the privacy statement to appear add [privacy]. When you upload your skin this will be converted to the user control and detailed for the .ascx file below.

.ASCX
At the head of the file add a reference to the user control
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="PRIVACY" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Privacy.ascx" %>
Then at the location where you wish for the link to the privacy statement to appear add
<dnn:PRIVACY runat="server" id="dnnPRIVACY" CssClass="skinPrivacy" />.

Changing the content of the default DotNetNuke privacy statement may only be done using a host/superuser account:

1. Select the languages option under the host menu.
2. Select Language Editor from either the list of actions below the module, or from the drop down list.
3. Select the language you wish to make the changes for.
4. Scroll down to find the MESSAGE_PORTAL_PRIVACY.Text value
5. Click on the arrow to the right of the text box. This will take you to a page containing the existing statement, with a text editor below. Note the use of [Portal:PortalName] and [Portal:Email] in the text editor. These will be replaced by the name of the website and the email address of the user who has been assigned as the website administrator, under Admin/Site Settings.

Unfortunately the details given above require access to the website as a host/superuser. Changes made will also be effective across all portals.
