A privacy policy page is recommended for transparency and may be legally required.

Why this matters

GDPR, CCPA, and most other privacy laws require a published privacy policy — its absence is a per-violation fine.

If you collect any personal data (analytics counts), GDPR requires a clear privacy notice describing what you collect, why, and how to exercise data rights. Fines start at €10M or 2% of global revenue, whichever is higher. CCPA's penalties scale per affected user.
