# GDPR opt-in

To stay compliant with GDPR while keeping a smooth user experience, we recommend displaying a short consent message directly in the recorder interface using the [**`Footnote text`**](https://docs.birdie.so/birdie-docs/request-screen-recordings/installation/customize-appearance#footnote-text-optional) feature.

Why use the Footnote text:

* It ensures users are informed at the moment they start recording
* It keeps the experience frictionless with no extra steps
* It provides a clear and lightweight form of consent

#### Example

```
By recording, you agree to our <a href="https://www.birdie.so/legal#PrivacyPolicy">Privacy Policy</a>
```

#### Tips

* Keep the message short and easy to understand
* Avoid legal jargon or long paragraphs
* Always include a link to your Privacy Policy

This approach strikes the right balance between compliance and conversion, ensuring users feel informed without adding friction to the recording flow.
