Last reviewed 9 November 2026.

Section 1

Edit your details

Go to Policy Templates > Privacy Policy > Privacy Policy Set Up.

Update your Business Name, Privacy Request Email, Hosting Provider, Overseas Service Provider Locations and your contact email, phone and mailing address.

Section 2

Edit the policy text

Go to Edit Policy Template.

The template starts with 9 sections, from What this policy covers to Contact us. Pick one under Select Section to edit it.
Click Add new section for anything extra, such as marketing, cookies, complaints or automated decisions.
Use Show/Hide Heading and Add placeholder as needed.
Reset to Savira Defaults puts a section back to the original wording.
Click Save Changes.

For help with each section, read Completing your privacy policy template.

Section 3

Publish

Back on Privacy Policy Set Up, check the preview and click Save & Publish. Your dashboard shows the date you last published.

Section 4

Update your website

How the new version reaches your site depends on how you added it.

WordPress plugin: pages with the policy shortcode show the new version within the hour. To show it straight away, flush the shortcode cache.
Other websites: click Copy Text and paste the new version over the old one on your policy page.

Section 5

Keep a record

Each time you update or publish a policy, an entry appears in Compliance Logs under the Policy tab. Savira does not keep a list of old versions, so save a dated copy of each version you replace.

Section 6

Custom policies

On Policy Templates, click + Add a Custom Policy, give it a name and choose Document (shown on WordPress with a shortcode) or Email (sent to contacts).
