DSAR pages - How to Display to visitors for Easy access and Compliance

The Consentmo GDPR app provides an automated way for your visitors to manage their data stored in Shopify.


They can do this via the DSAR (data subject access request pages) generated by the app.


More on the pages and their purpose and functionality can be checked here:



Link in the footer


The easiest way to provide access to the pages is to make them always available in the storefront by linking them in the store footer section.


They can be linked like any other page you have there already, and by following these steps:


  1. Go to the Content menu of the store admin


  1. Open the Menus section


  1. Select the Footer menu



  1. In the Footer menu section, select the Add menu item option



  1. Two input fields will become available for the element Label (text) and Link (URL)


  1. Set the text for the link that will show in the Footer menu and locate the page that you want to link to it as well, as shown here:



  1. Save the changes and check the link in the frontend



By following the above steps, you can link as many pages as you need, according to your needs and preferences.


Link in a page


If you have a custom Privacy Policy or a dedicated Data management rights page, the link for the page can also be added there.


The page should not be part of the automated Shopify policies, as due to some restrictions from the platform, external links or elements may not work properly there


The links for the page/s can be added using the following HTML element:


<p><a href="PAGE URL" target="_blank"><b>LINK TEXT</b></a></p>


In the above HTML in the PAGE URL, add the URL for the page you need to link, and in the LINK TEXT part, set the text it will be displayed with.


Here, you can check an example of how the link can be added to a page and how it will be displayed there:

  1. Go to the Online store tab of the Store admin


  1. Select Pagessection


  1. Select the Add page option on the top right of the page


  1. Set a title for the new page, "Data management" for example

Using this HTML element at the bottom of the content:
