Adding Your Own Privacy Policy
As the data controller, you are responsible for informing signers about how their personal data is processed. Skyfish allows you to add your company’s privacy policy to your Digital Consents so signers can review it before signing.
Why You Need to Add Your Privacy Policy
Under data protection rules (including GDPR), signers must be informed about:
- how their data will be used
- who is responsible for the processing
- how to contact the data controller
- their rights regarding data access, deletion, and objection
Adding your own privacy policy ensures this requirement is met and keeps your consent workflow compliant.
How to Add Your Privacy Policy
Step 1: Prepare your privacy policy
Make sure your privacy policy is available online in a stable, accessible location (e.g., your website or as a shared link in Skyfish).
Step 2: Add your policy URL in Skyfish
- Go to “Consent” → “Settings” → “Digital Consent”
- Enter the URL of your privacy policy in the designated field
- Save your changes
Once added, Skyfish will use this URL whenever the smart tag is inserted into a template.
How the Privacy Policy Smart Tag Works
When you include the Issuer Privacy Policy smart tag in a consent template:
- Skyfish will automatically insert a link to the URL you added in your settings
- The link will appear in the final consent document shown to signers
- Signers can click the link to read your full privacy policy before approving the consent
Signers Must Accept Your Privacy Policy Before Signing
When the privacy policy URL is added and the smart tag is included in your template:
This provides an additional layer of compliance and transparency in your Digital Consent process.
- Signers will be required to accept your privacy policy before they can complete the signature
- This ensures that each signer has been informed about your data-handling practices
- The acceptance is recorded as part of the consent workflow
This provides an additional layer of compliance and transparency in your Digital Consent process.
