Add a privacy policy
While we cannot offer direct legal advice, given the various data privacy laws worldwide, we recommend implementing a privacy policy if you log user sessions in Google Analytics.
If you already have a privacy policy for your business or website, you can provide a link in your account settings so that it is easily accessible to your doc viewers. Here’s how:
Navigate to coda.io/account
Scroll to the Privacy Policy section under Publishing
Click Add to enter your privacy policy link.
