Awe CheckWebsite privacy policy checker
Paste a site address: we find the policy, show its address and check that it is reachable from every page, what it says and whether the forms link to it.
Short answer: what a privacy policy needs
A policy should live on its own page, be linked from every page of the site (usually the footer) and from every form that collects data. It says what data the site collects, why, who gets it, how long it is kept and how a person can withdraw consent. Without it, a site that takes enquiries or sets cookies risks a fine in Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Europe.
What we check
- Whether a policy page exists and where it lives.
- Whether the policy link is available from all pages.
- Whether the text covers data collection, purposes, sharing with third parties, retention and the person’s rights.
- Whether cookies and analytics are explained.
- Whether forms link to the policy and ask for consent.
- Whether contact details are given.
Privacy policy: frequently asked questions
How do I check whether a site has a privacy policy?
Paste the address above. The service opens the site, finds the policy page and shows its address. If there is none, you see it at once, with a generator button below.
Is a privacy policy mandatory for a website?
If a site collects any personal data (forms, orders, subscriptions, analytics, cookies), a policy is needed almost everywhere: Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, the EU and US states. The fine depends on the country and business size.
Where should the policy link be?
In the footer of every page and next to every form where people leave data, with a consent checkbox. It is easier to find and directly required in many countries.
What if there is no policy?
Create one with the free Awe Check generator: it accounts for the country, fills from the report and gives a ready page. Then link it in the footer and forms and re-check the site.
Is this a legal opinion?
No. It is an automated check of public site data. A lawyer gives the final view on whether the text suits your business.
