I would like the ability to link to an external URL for the privacy/terms of use policies located in the member signup. I am utilizing Wix Answers for both of these and it would be beneficial to have the option to link to those articles.
In some cases, e.g. if user's personal data will be transferred to countries outside the EU, and these countries haven't some agreement with the EU, explicit consent of the user needed before he or she will be a registered user on a blog, according to GDPR
BTW:
1. Wix itself maintained some processes in countries outside the EU (see paragraph 5 of the Wix privacy policy). So if EU citizens will be registered on a blog, their data might be transferred outside EU.
2. Users outside EU can view profiles and comments of blog users who are EU citizens. In this case, some personal data of users from the EU might be transferred outside the EU.
Let me add.

Explicit consent can be provided by the adding a checkbox and an urgent message to the registration form. A message must be not a part of a privacy policy or another big agreement, but be placed directly on a registration form. In some situations, it must be big.
Wix already did a great job by providing the ability to create Wix forms with the explicit consent. Please add such ability for the blog.
Thanks.
Hi Steve, hi Ievgen,
thanks for sharing your needs and initiating the discussion.
Regarding external link - I added the request to the features Wishlist.
In the future we are also planning to allow customisation of the member sign-up form, so you'll be able to add elements you want.
Simona
Thanks, Simona.
