# Strict privacy

Turning on this option will require everyone on the site to accept the terms and conditions and the privacy statement for the site. If institutions have their own statements, members of the institution will need to consent to them as well.

This option is not available if the site has people in multiple institutions. If you need to enable strict privacy, you will need to make changes to these accounts first and have them in one institution only.

For more information and any text changes you may need to make to your terms and conditions and privacy statement, please consult your lawyer. The Mahara project does not provide legal advice.
