Privacy banner

This guide describes the Privacy banner section.

Use the section to display a banner containing information about how your store handles customer data. The banner is fixed to the bottom of the storefront and appears with a slide transition. The default banner uses Shopify's Customer Privacy API. To learn about Shopify's Customer Privacy API, refer to Shopify developer help: Customer privacy API. If you require a banner that contains different information, consider using a dedicated app.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
