## Code

```php
// Heading and suggested policy text.
$wpide_policy_name = 'Site customizations';
$wpide_policy_text = '<p>We use privacy-friendly analytics that do not set cookies or store your IP address.</p>'
    . '<p>Embedded videos and maps only load after you click them, so the provider does not receive data before you choose to watch or view.</p>'
    . '<p>Messages sent through our contact form are emailed to us and deleted from our inbox after 12 months.</p>';

add_action( 'admin_init', function () use ( $wpide_policy_name, $wpide_policy_text ) {
    if ( function_exists( 'wp_add_privacy_policy_content' ) ) {
        wp_add_privacy_policy_content( $wpide_policy_name, wp_kses_post( wpautop( $wpide_policy_text, false ) ) );
    }
} );
```

## Notes

Edit the text to describe what your site really collects; the guide only suggests content and does not change your policy page.
