Privacy
Responsibility
Site authors are responsible for ensuring compliance with regional privacy regulations, including but not limited to:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): Applies to individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area.
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): Applies to California residents.
- CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act): Expands upon the CCPA with stronger consumer privacy protections.
- Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA): Applies to businesses that collect, process, or sell the personal data of Virginia residents.
Hugo’s privacy settings can assist in compliance efforts.
Embedded templates
Hugo provides embedded templates to simplify site and content creation. Some of these templates interact with external services. For example, the youtube shortcode connects with YouTube’s servers to embed videos on your site.
Some of these templates include settings to enhance privacy.
