Legal pages checker: are your privacy policy and imprint still linked?
Enter any page of your site. This free legal pages checker reads its links, finds your privacy policy, terms, imprint, cookie policy, accessibility statement and contact page in six languages, and opens each one to see that it loads with real text. A leftover link to the closed EU ODR platform is flagged too.
Free, no account. One page per scan. Results are kept for 24 hours and shared for the same address; up to 5 scans every 10 minutes and 20 a day.
What the checker looks for on your page
A privacy policy link
Recognised by link text or address in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian or Dutch — “Privacy policy”, “Datenschutzerklärung”, “Política de privacidad”, “Politique de confidentialité”. No privacy policy link is reported as an issue.
An imprint where one is expected
On a .de, .at or .ch site a missing imprint (Impressum, legal notice) is an issue; on a German-language site elsewhere it's a warning. On the imprint it opens, it looks for an email address and a postal address, and warns when it can't find one.
Terms, cookie policy, accessibility statement, contact
Each is listed as found or not found. Terms aren't required here: from one page the checker can't tell whether you sell online. The monitor asks for them once it knows your cart and checkout.
Each linked page loads and has text
Every legal page linked on your own site is opened. One that doesn't load, or is almost empty, is an issue. A page hosted by a legal-text service such as iubenda or Termly counts as found.
A “Legal” hub page
When the footer links one “Legal” or “Rechtliches” page instead of each text, the checker follows it one level and reads the links there.
The closed EU ODR platform
The EU's online dispute resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025. A link to it that's still on the page is reported as an issue.
What one page, one time, can't tell you
The checker reads the page you enter, today. Legal links usually sit in a footer that's the same on every page, but not always: a shop's terms belong where the customer orders, and they may be linked only at checkout. It doesn't know whether your site sells online, so it doesn't ask for terms.
It doesn't judge the text either. Whether your privacy notice names every purpose and recipient, or your imprint is complete for your legal form, is a legal question for a lawyer or a legal-text service you keep up to date. What Relvato tests is that the pages are linked, load and aren't empty.
And a clean result is a snapshot. A theme switch, a page-builder update or a migration can unlink a page next week. Relvato's Legal pages monitor runs the same test on your home, shop and checkout pages after WordPress, theme, plugin and WooCommerce updates, requires terms once it knows your checkout, and alerts you by email, Slack or webhook.
Questions, answered
Does a clean result mean my legal pages are correct?
No. The checker doesn't judge whether your texts are legally adequate — that needs a lawyer, or a legal-text service you keep up to date. It tells you that the pages you have are linked from this page, load and have real text, and that no link to the closed ODR platform is left.
Why does it want an imprint on my site?
German, Austrian and Swiss rules ask businesses to say who runs the site — in Germany § 5 DDG, where a missing imprint can bring a fine or a cease-and-desist letter. So on a .de, .at or .ch domain a missing imprint is an issue. A German-language site on another domain gets a warning, because it depends on where you operate. Elsewhere a missing imprint isn't reported — though across the EU, the E-Commerce Directive still asks online businesses to show their name, postal address and email address where they're easy to find.
My privacy policy is hosted by iubenda or Termly. Is that a problem?
No. A legal page on a legal-text service's domain counts as found. The checker opens only pages on your own site, so for a hosted page it tests the link, not the page behind it.
Why does it flag a link to the EU ODR platform?
Regulation (EU) 2024/3228 repealed the duty to link to the EU's online dispute resolution platform, and the platform closed on 20 July 2025. A link to it points customers to a complaint route that no longer exists, so it should come off.
What happens to the pages I check?
Relvato reads the page and the legal pages it links to once, from a service that can only reach public addresses, and keeps the result for 24 hours so the same address isn't scanned again. Nothing else about the scan is stored.
Know when an update unlinks your privacy policy.
Relvato's Legal pages monitor repeats this test on your home, shop and checkout pages after WordPress, theme, plugin and WooCommerce updates, on any website. On every plan, Free included: on Free you run it yourself or weekly; Pro also re-runs it after updates.
