Add a privacy page

When someone sends you an enquiry, they trust you with their name and contact details. A short, honest privacy page tells them what you'll do with them. In many countries it's also expected by law.

1. Ask your AI assistant:

Write a short, plain-English privacy page for my small business website as a file called privacy.html, matching the style of the website file below. Business: {name}, {address}, {email}. We collect: name, email, optional phone, and message through our contact form. We use them only to reply to the enquiry and provide our service. We never sell them. Enquiries are received and stored by MyFormConnect on our behalf. We keep enquiries for {e.g. 12 months} unless you become a customer. People can ask us to see or delete their details by emailing {email}. Keep it under 300 words. Add a link back to the home page.

Paste your index.html under the message so it matches your design.

1. Save the answer as privacy.html in your website folder.
2. Check that the checkbox on your form links to privacy.html. It should, from day 6.
3. Upload the folder in Cloudflare.

Three honest rules:

• Only say what's true. If you add tools later, such as analytics, update the page.
• The consent checkbox stays unticked by default.
• If someone asks you to delete their details, do it, and delete them in MyFormConnect too.

This is practical guidance, not legal advice. If your business handles sensitive information, such as health details, ask a professional to check your page.

Tomorrow: the change routine. After that, you'll never need to ask anyone to update your website again.
