Hi Niki.
Thanks for posting your question about adding a Privacy Policy page link to your footer. I recommend using the Privacy link in the WordPress Settings menu. This will set you up and give you a template you can modify to provide for your website visitors.
If you have a Premium Connect Key, you can remove the Special Thanks links and attributions in your footer.
If you want to add a link to the privacy page you can use the Customizer > Widget editor. Add a HTML or Visual Editor Widget to the Footer section and add the link to your privacy page.
Example HTML link:
<a href=”https://example.com/privacy-policy” target=”_blank” title=”Click here to navigate to our updated Privacy Policy”>Our Privacy Policy</a>
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Carlos D
