# Terms of Service and Privacy Policy **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
An administrator can enforce acceptance of a terms of service and privacy policy.
|
|
When this option is enabled, new and existing users must accept the terms.
|
|
|
|
When enabled, you can view the Terms of Service at the `-/users/terms` page on the instance,
|
|
for example `https://gitlab.example.com/-/users/terms`.
|
|
|
|
## Enforce a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
|
|
|
|
To enforce acceptance of a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu >** **{admin}** **Admin**.
|
|
1. In the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand the **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy** section.
|
|
1. Check the **All users must accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to access GitLab** checkbox.
|
|
1. Input the text of the **Terms of Service and Privacy Policy**. You can use [Markdown](../../markdown.md)
|
|
in this text box.
|
|
1. Click **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
For each update to the terms, a new version is stored. When a user accepts or declines the terms,
|
|
GitLab records which version they accepted or declined.
|
|
|
|
When enabled, it adds a mandatory checkbox to the sign up page for new users:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Existing users must accept the terms on their next GitLab interaction.
|
|
If a logged-in user declines the terms, they are signed out.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
