Adding a Privacy Policy in OpenCart

A Privacy Policy is one of the most important pages on any e‑commerce site. It explains how your store collects, uses, and protects customer information. On ruachost.com, you can add a Privacy Policy page in OpenCart directly from the administrator dashboard.

Why Add a Privacy Policy?

• Builds trust with customers by showing transparency.
• Ensures compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR).
• Protects your business legally by clarifying how data is handled.

Step 2: Navigate to Information Pages

1. On the dashboard, in the left sidebar, click Catalog → Information.
2. OpenCart comes with preconfigured information pages (Delivery Information, Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, etc.).

Step 3: Edit the Privacy Policy Page

1. Locate Privacy Policy in the list.
2. Click Edit.
3. Update the Title, Description, and Meta Tag Information to match your store’s privacy practices.
