Why it matters
GDPR and UK GDPR require your contact details in the privacy notice, and most other privacy laws expect a way to make requests. A contact form buried three menus deep is legal but annoying; an email address is better.
How Patch checks
We read your privacy policy for an email address, a privacy contact or a request form, and we look for a plain email address on the policy and contact pages.
How to fix it
- Add an email address for privacy requests to your privacy policy, for example privacy@your site.
- Say how quickly you reply (one month is the GDPR limit, extendable in some cases).
- Make sure someone actually reads that inbox.
Your own report goes further: it names the exact pages, services and settings Patch found on your site, and with a full report you get a fix prompt to paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor.
Where this applies
Applies wherever a privacy notice is required.
