Data collection notice controls in Elementor
Entries holds one row per kind of data: category, purpose, retention and contact. Layout chooses blocks, a table that stacks on phones, or one line per entry, plus direction and spacing. Heading and text adds a heading, an introduction, the labels for each part, an optional privacy policy link and a message when there are no entries. The Style tab covers the entries, category, label and link colours, table lines and header, the heading and introduction, and an optional icon.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use data collection notice
Visitors are more willing to fill in a form when they can see, right there, what happens to their details. A full privacy policy is long and on another page. Data collection notice puts a short, structured summary beside the form: each kind of data with its purpose, how long it is kept and whom to contact, as blocks, a table or one line each.
Checkout and account pages
Summarise order, delivery and payment data in a table.
Newsletter sign-ups
Say how long an address is kept and how to unsubscribe or ask.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot data collection notice
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why does nothing show on the page?
There are no entries with a data category. Add one, or set Text when there are no entries.
Why is the privacy policy link missing?
It needs a published page chosen in Settings › Privacy and Link to the privacy policy turned on.
Why is a contact not clickable?
Only email addresses and http or https web addresses become links; other text is shown as written.
Why is a table column missing?
Columns that are empty for every entry are left out. Fill in that part for at least one entry.
