How to Add Privacy Policy Notice to Your Contact Form
You can find Privacy and Policy notice on nearly every website. The most popular types are cookie popups which are mainly to assure the search engines that you do not violate any privacy terms. The same box is commonly used on Contact Forms, or Survey and Quizzes which suggest collecting personal data from your website visitors.
Having a clear Privacy and Policy notice is not only a legal necessity in many countries but also a crucial way to build trust with your visitors. When users see that you respect their privacy and handle their data responsibly, they feel safer engaging with your site.
This transparency can lead to higher form submissions and better customer relationships overall. Plus, search engines like Google take privacy compliance seriously, so adding these notices can also improve your website’s SEO and avoid penalties. Whether you’re running an online store, blog, or service website, it’s important to make sure these privacy elements are front and center.
Let’s follow these 3 steps to add Privacy and Policy notice to your contact form popup in WordPress via Popup Box Plugin. This will help ensure your site stays compliant with privacy laws while building trust with your visitors at the same time.
Step 1
In the Popup Box dashboard let’s first set up our Contact Form Popup. To do this, click the Add New button, then select the Contact Form type from the available options. Next, choose one of the ready-made templates to speed up your setup process.
I recommend the template called “Forest” because its clean design and calming colors make it an ideal fit for a contact form popup, helping to create a welcoming and professional impression for your visitors.

Note: This form is fully customizable
Step 2
You can see from the template that there are default fields that are common for the contact form. In the screenshots below you can also see how those fields look in the dashboard:
The User data function is for enabling new fields or making them required if necessary
In order to add a new Privacy Policy note in the User Data fields section, you need to go to the Custom Fields tab from the Popup Box dashboard.
Click on Add New. In the Name field write down the name of your notice, which would be Privacy and Policy Terms in our case. The Type field is to configure what type of field you want to add to your form, privacy and policy terms are mostly checkbox-type fields. In the Description field, you can add additional information or insert the link to the page that represents the privacy and policy terms of your website.
Step 3
Lastly, we need to enable the field. Go back to your form, in the User Data function, find the needed field and check the enable box, tick the required box if needed.
Voila!
