# Privacy Theme Object Introduction  

Displays a link to the Privacy Information for the portal. 
 
By default, the URL used, will be "mywebite.com/privacy". 
This is not a "real page" (see further below). 
 
The shown Privacy Text will be loaded from this Resource file: "App_GlobalResources\GlobalResources.resx". 
The key: “MESSAGE_PORTAL_PRIVACY.Text” 
 
Please note you should not edit this file as it will be overwritten on upgrade, you can edit "GlobalResources.host.resx" or GlobalResources.Portalx.resx though. (see Static Localization) 
 
You can also set a custom Privacy page in the Site Settings and use a "real page" for your privacy message. 
In that case the text from the Resource file will not be used and you will have to add your own text to the page. 


**Current Version:** 01.00.00
