2. In the pop-up, select Business details.

   

3. In the Terms of use and privacy section, enter the relevant URL(s) for your policies. You can add the Terms of use URL, the Privacy policy URL, or both.

   After you add your Terms of use and Privacy policy URLs, users will see these links on the Sign up page in the widget footer.

   

   When your users sign up or sign in to your business via the Kinde platform, they implicitly agree to your Privacy policy and Terms of use (or licence terms).

Switch on explicit acceptance of policies

You will need a paid plan to use this feature. Check out the Kinde pricing page for details.

Some businesses want to record explicit acceptance and track who has accepted. This is also known as a clickwrap agreement, click-accept, click-to-sign, or clickthrough agreement.

To switch on explicit acceptance, follow these steps:

1. Go to Global display settings section.
2. Switch on the Show a policy acceptance checkbox on sign up toggle.
3. Select Save.

When you switch on explicit acceptance, it is set at the business level and will apply to all environments and organizations in your business.

Acceptance experience for users

Link to this section

The next time a user signs up, they are prompted to select the acceptance checkbox before they can sign up for your service.

• If they sign up with email, the acceptance checkbox appears inline on the sign-up page (see image above).
• If they sign up using a third-party service like Google or GitHub, a dialog appears, prompting them to accept (see image below).

Check if a user has accepted

Link to this section

You can see in a user’s profile when they accepted the policies, terms, and conditions.

1. In your Kinde dashboard, go to Users.
2. Filter the list and select the user you want to view.
3. Select Activity.

The Terms of use accepted and Privacy policy accepted dates appear in the description. You will also see them in the Log list. These appear as log activity because when a policy is updated and new acceptance is recorded, the accepted date also changes.
