Privacy policy for Facebook Lead Ads

When you create a Facebook Lead Ads form (on Facebook or Instagram), Meta requires you to provide a privacy policy URL. That link should point to a live privacy policy explaining what data you collect with your lead form, how you use it, and how people can contact you.

What your Facebook Lead Ads privacy policy should include

A privacy policy for Facebook Lead Ads doesn't have to be complicated, but it should clearly explain:

  • What information you collect in your lead form (e.g. name, email, phone).
  • Why you're collecting that information (e.g. send quotes, book demos, share offers).
  • How you store and protect the data once it leaves Facebook.
  • Whether you share the data with any third parties (CRM, email tools, partners).
  • How people can contact you or ask to have their data deleted.

In many cases the same document can act as both your website privacy policy and your Facebook Lead Ads privacy policy as long as it covers how you use data collected through ads and forms.

Where to paste your privacy policy URL in the Facebook Lead Ads form

To add your privacy policy URL to a Facebook Lead Ads form:

  1. Open Ads Manager and edit your lead generation campaign.
  2. Select the ad set, then go to the Ad level.
  3. Under Instant form, create a new form or edit an existing one.
  4. In the form builder, go to the Privacy section.
  5. Paste your privacy policy URLinto the field labeled "Link to your privacy policy".

If the URL is missing or broken, your Facebook Lead Ads form can be rejected or paused until you fix it.
