> Requires: Fundations Pro
Fundations Pro adds a suggested privacy policy text block to the WordPress Privacy Policy guide. This text covers the data shared with each supported CRM and integration service.
Why use this
Data protection regulations such as GDPR require you to inform visitors about third-party services your site sends personal data to. If you use Fundations integrations (Mailchimp, HubSpot, etc.), you need to document this in your privacy policy. The Pro plugin generates a starting point for that disclosure so you are not writing it from scratch.
What it does
Fundations Pro registers suggested privacy policy content under the heading “Get Fundations Pro” in the WordPress Privacy Policy guide. The text covers:
- Third-Party Integrations: The types of data that may be shared (name, email, donation amounts, custom fields, consent status).
- Connected Services: Each supported service with a brief description and a link to its privacy policy:
- Mailchimp
- Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)
- ActiveCampaign
- HubSpot
- WP Fusion
- Zapier
- Custom Webhooks
- Integration Logs: Clarifies that sync logs do not contain personal data beyond what is in the payloads.
- Automation Rules: Notes that rules may share data with third parties based on configured triggers.
- Tip Collection: Describes that tip amounts are stored alongside donor data.
How to use it
- Go to Settings → Privacy in the WordPress admin.
- Open or create your Privacy Policy page.
- Click See the suggested privacy policy text in the Privacy Policy Guide section.
- Find the “Get Fundations Pro” section.
- Copy the relevant sections into your actual Privacy Policy page.
- Edit the copied text to accurately reflect which integrations you are actually using and any site-specific details.
- Publish or update your Privacy Policy page.
What you can and cannot do
- You can use the suggested text as a starting point for your privacy policy.
- You must review and customise the text. It is a template, not a legal document.
- The suggested text lists all seven supported integration services unconditionally. It does not detect which integrations you have actually enabled. You should remove sections for services you are not using.
- The text does not update automatically when you add or remove integrations. You are responsible for keeping your privacy policy current.
- You cannot configure what the suggested text says. It is a static template.
Important note on legal compliance
The suggested text is provided as a convenience. It does not constitute legal advice. Privacy regulations vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Have your privacy policy reviewed by a qualified legal professional.
Troubleshooting
The “Get Fundations Pro” section does not appear in the Privacy Policy guide. Confirm Fundations Pro is active and the license is valid. The privacy content is registered on admin_init. If Pro loads but the section is missing, try deactivating and reactivating the Pro plugin.
The suggested text references services I am not using. This is expected. The template includes all supported services. Manually remove the sections that do not apply to your site before adding the text to your policy page.
Developer reference
The Get_Fund_Privacy_Pro class hooks to admin_init and calls wp_add_privacy_policy_content() with a static string. There are no filters or hooks to modify the content from outside the class.
If you need custom privacy policy content for an extension you are building, use wp_add_privacy_policy_content() directly with your plugin’s name and content.
