Hi, I created a Google Console app for Discourse login using this tutorial: Configure Google login for Discourse Google has sent me this email: [OAuth-Verification-Request-for-Project-GeekForge-id-high-tech-realm-thetrendzjournal-gmail-com-Gmail-https-mail-google-com-mail-u-0-inbox-FMfcgzGqPzDrCpNLTRlSbctGgmrPPNfl] I think the possible reason is point 3: the privacy policy is accessible from the app’s home page. How should I fix it? My homepage shows the latest posts. Should I pin privacy policy? Or is there any way to add privacy policy link to the hamburger menu?

You can add extra hamburger links using the Custom Hamburger Menu Links theme component if that helps?

Thank you. I was able to add Privacy Policy link to the hamburger menu. I’ve a question: is it necessary to get the app verified by Google? I’ve seen other tutorials on the web and most of them do not suggest the idea of getting the app verified. What will be the limitations if I don’t get it verified?

[image] JammyDodger: You can add extra hamburger links using the Custom Hamburger Menu Links IIRC Google wants it to be accessible in one click, so I assume this would be out of the question. [image] riteshsaini: is it necessary to get the app verified by Google? Unless you need sensitive or restricted scopes (which aren’t needed for discourse), no. Although users with higher security settings may potentially run into problems signing in, but I expect this to be rare.

[image] Wolftallemo: Google wants it to be accessible in one click No they want. It is rarely behind one click because of menus. They want a direct link. Different thing.

[image] Jakke Flemming: It is rarely behind one click because of menus. Most sites have a link in the footer, which is what I assume they were after. When I tried the custom hamburger menu links component, I was told that the privacy policy was still not compliant (their email specifically said accessible in one click - the joys of undocumented guidelines). They only stopped giving me grief after I added a link in the footer. That said Google is not known for consistent enforcement so it may have been an overzealous reviewer for my case. [image] Jakke Flemming: They want a direct link. Yeah I’m aware the guidelines only say it must he “accessible”, but they can and have been obnoxious because they deemed it “not prominent enough”.

[image] Wolftallemo: IIRC Google wants it to be accessible in one click, so I assume this would be out of the question. There are other theme components that would allow people to put it somewhere else if needed? eg Custom Header Links The preview for that has a privacy link as an example. I’ve not gone through the Google review myself though, so I don’t know the intricacies of exactly what they want.

It’s more of it must be somewhat obvious to the user where it is, so I imagine the custom header links would be fine.

[image] Wolftallemo: Unless you need sensitive or restricted scopes (which aren’t needed for discourse), no. Although users with higher security settings may potentially run into problems signing in, but I expect this to be rare. Thanks for confirming. I guess I will skip the verification. I don’t have any custom settings. I just followed the official guidelines shared on Meta. Another question, does meta use a verified app? If it doesn’t, I guess it’s safe for my small community to stay away from the hassle of getting the app verified.

Isn’t there a way to provide the link in the head? Something like ?

I’ve just hit the Google requirements ofr the privacy policy accessibility as well. I want to use Google to offer the option for user authentication and also for the Video Upload to YouTube and Vimeo using Theme Component. I notice the Google login functionality is available with Meta even though the privacy policy isn’t readily accessible from the default home page. Perhaps Google have tightened up their requirements since then, unless I’m missing something. Anyway, I’m still looking for a way around not having footers on the site where a link would usually reside, so far without success. The best option would seem to be a link in the sidebar community section but that’s not configurable as far as I know. Does anyone have and advice on changing the sidebar, or any other good ideas to satisfy the Google reviewers?
