Help with GDPR Policies options

I'm working my way through setting all this up...and I'm not sure I'm fully understanding the options...

I see under site admin/users/privacy and policies where to set the site policy handler....and if I'm understanding this correctly, I now have this set up to show new users my pdf file of my privacy policies which they must agree to before going further?

I have that saved as a pdf file on google docs and uploaded the url link under "Policy Settings" where it says "site policy URL".

But now I am seeing there's also a place when I go to my user profile where you are supposed to be able to click on "policies and agreements" in their profile page here:



And I'm guessing that is set here:

site admin/users/privacy and policies/manage policies ... and then I click "new policy"? Because when I click that link in my profile, there's nothing there.... I had assumed that it would take me to the privacy policy pdf I uploaded the link to, but apparently that's a different thing....


So my question now is...  these 2 places...are they for the same policy or should I have something different in them? If so, what are the different policies that go here, in regards to GDPR.  I'm only concerned right now with setting up GDPR properly.


I just want to make sure I'm getting it all set up properly and that I'm using the settings properly.


I have 3.5.1 Moodle

Mary is always around.  (I just saw her in Barcelona about a week ago, so she is alive!)

The best way to find Mary is to ask a question where she thinks she can help.  If she can help, she will.  If someone else helps you, Mary probably won't.  If you ask a question that is outside of Mary's expertise, you won't see her.  (Mary, hope that I didn't mislead Tina.)

Very soon the Rabbit noticed Alice, as she went hunting about, and called out to her in an angry tone, `Why, Mary Ann, what are you doing out here? Run home this moment, and fetch me a pair of gloves and a fan! Quick, now!' And Alice was so much frightened that she ran off at once in the direction it pointed to, without trying to explain the mistake it had made.

`He took me for his housemaid,' she said to herself as she ran. `How surprised he'll be when he finds out who I am! But I'd better take him his fan and gloves--that is, if I can find them.'

If Policies is set as the site policy handler then you don't use the settings Site policy URL and Site policy for guests, so yes, you create a new policy from the Manage policies page.
