= Why Facebook and Twitter want Privacy Policy URL? =

Facebook and Twitter are now require your website to have Privacy Policy.

After [General Data Protection Regulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) (GDPR) regulation was made it is now required to have a link to Privacy Policy.

Currently known problem is that it is NOT possible to start using Facebook API (only in test mode), until you specify `Privacy Policy URL` in their settings.

Twitter is not that strict, and only does not provide email of the user when he is logged in.
What You Can Do

WordPress currently has default Privacy Policy page create for your. What you can is to add the following text there under "What personal data we collect and why we collect it" header:

> When you authorize via some of the available social networks, we collects the following information about you: first name, last name, login (when available), avatar URL and email (when available or access given).
> Some of the information may vary from social to social. For example, VK.com give access to email only when you accept it while authorizing.
> We record information about only when social network allows us to have it.
