What it checks

Follows the page’s privacy policy link and checks the status.

Why it matters

Visitors and regulators cannot read how you handle personal data, which is the same as having no policy. Potential compliance risk. Review recommended. This is not legal advice.

Recommended fix

Fix the link or publish the page it points to.

How to verify

Click the privacy link in the footer and confirm the policy loads.

Example fix prompt

Generic prompt (your report adds the evidence)
Please fix this production issue in my app.

Issue PRV-012: Privacy policy link is broken
Site: https://your-app.example

First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: The privacy policy link points at a page that returns an error (see evidence). Restore the page or update the link to the correct URL everywhere it appears (footer, sign-up form, cookie banner).

Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: Click the privacy link in the footer and confirm the policy loads.
