Feature Request: Add a Dedicated Privacy Policy Page

[ArshiBansal]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

PrepPilot currently lacks a dedicated Privacy Policy page where users can understand how their information is collected, used, stored, and protected. This can make it difficult for users to find important privacy-related information and reduces transparency regarding data handling practices.

A dedicated Privacy Policy page is an essential component of modern web applications and helps establish trust by clearly communicating privacy practices.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a dedicated Privacy Policy page that is accessible throughout the application and follows the existing UI/UX design patterns.

The page should include sections such as:

• Information We Collect
• How We Use Information
• Data Storage and Security
• Third-Party Services and Integrations
• User Rights and Data Requests
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies (if applicable)
• Policy Updates and Changes
• Contact Information for Privacy Concerns

Additionally:

• Add a Privacy Policy link in the footer.
• Ensure responsive design across all screen sizes.
• Support both light and dark themes.
• Add proper page metadata for SEO.
• Maintain consistency with the existing design system.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Including privacy information within the README or documentation.
• Adding privacy details to an existing legal or informational page.

However, a dedicated Privacy Policy page provides better accessibility, discoverability, and maintainability.

Additional context

Benefits

• Improves transparency regarding user data handling.
• Enhances user trust and platform credibility.

Suggested Implementation

Acceptance Criteria

• Dedicated Privacy Policy page is created.
• Privacy Policy link is added to the footer/navigation.
• Page is fully responsive.
• Supports light and dark themes.
• SEO metadata is included.
• Content is structured with clear sections and headings.
