## Finding the Privacy and Policy Pages from the Website Footer
In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, the easiest way to open the legal and policy pages is from the website footer. Scroll to the bottom of any public page and look for the footer links labeled **Privacy**, **Terms**, **Cookies**, and **App Privacy**. These links are part of the public website, so you do not need to sign in, open the admin area, or use any account menu to read them.

When you click one of these links, a dedicated policy page opens. Check the page heading at the top of the content area to confirm you opened the right page. For example, if you clicked **Privacy**, the page heading should clearly match that policy. You can also confirm by looking at the page address in your browser and checking that it matches the policy you selected. This is especially useful if you opened the page from a saved tab or returned to it later.

These pages are useful at different moments while browsing:

- Open **Privacy** before sending a contact or inquiry form if you want to know how your details may be used.
- Open **Terms** if you want to understand the rules for using the website and its published content.
- Open **Cookies** if you want to know how browsing activity may be measured or remembered.
- Open **App Privacy** if you are reviewing a mobile or app-connected service rather than only browsing the website.

If you already worked through [Using FAQ and Disclaimer Pages for Common Questions](doc:using-faq-and-disclaimer-pages-for-common-questions), treat these footer policy links as the next place to check when your question is specifically about privacy, website rules, or cookie use rather than general service information.

## Reading the Privacy Page to Understand Data Collection
The **Privacy** page in Sherkety ERP & Website Platform helps you understand what information may be collected when you browse the website, submit forms, or communicate with the business. Start by reading the main sections in order, paying attention to headings that describe collected information, use of information, and visitor rights. These headings usually separate the page into practical topics so you can quickly find what matters to you.

As you read, look for references to the kinds of information a visitor might share or generate. This may include contact details entered into forms, business-related information provided during an inquiry, and general usage information created while browsing pages. If you are planning to request a demo, ask about services, or submit a contact form, this page is the right place to check how that information may be handled.

Focus on the parts of the page that explain **why** information is used. In most cases, you are looking for explanations connected to:
- responding to inquiries,
- providing requested services,
- following up on business interest,
- improving the website experience.

You should also look for any section that explains your options as a visitor. This may include language about privacy-related questions, requests, or ways to contact the business about personal information. If a section mentions rights, requests, or contact methods, read that part carefully before submitting personal or company details through a form.

If you are comparing this page with other legal pages, remember its main purpose: **the Privacy page explains what information may be collected and why**. It is different from the **Terms** page, which focuses on usage rules, and the **Cookies** page, which focuses on browsing technologies.

## Using the Terms and Cookies Pages to Review Website Usage Rules
The **Terms** page and **Cookies** page answer two different questions, so it helps to read them separately. Open **Terms** from the footer when you want to understand the rules for using the public website, reading its content, and relying on the business information presented across service pages, ERP pages, and informational pages.

On the **Terms** page, scan the headings for topics related to website use, content ownership, disclaimers, and limits on how the information should be used. If you are reviewing service descriptions, package details, or ERP module information before making a decision, this page helps you understand the conditions around using that content. Pay close attention to sections that describe acceptable use and any limitations connected to the published material.

Then open the **Cookies** page from the same footer area. This page is more specific to what happens during browsing. Instead of explaining broad privacy practices, it usually focuses on cookies and similar tools used while you move through the website. Read this page if you want to understand how the site may support essential functions, remember browsing behavior, or measure page usage.

A simple way to separate the two pages is:

| Page | Best question to ask |
|---|---|
| **Terms** | What rules apply when I use this website and its content? |
| **Cookies** | How does the website use cookies or similar tracking tools while I browse? |
| **Privacy** | What information may be collected about me and why? |

On the **Cookies** page, look for wording related to essential website functions, analytics, measurement, or visitor choices. If you want to understand whether browsing activity is being used to improve pages or measure engagement, this is the page to read before continuing through product or service content.

## Reviewing the App Privacy Page Before Using Mobile or App-Based Services
Use the **App Privacy** page when your question is about a mobile experience or an app-connected service, not just the public website in your browser. In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, this page is separate from the main **Privacy** page so visitors can review privacy details that may apply specifically to app usage.

Start by opening **App Privacy** from the website footer. Check the page heading to confirm you are on the app-specific policy page, then compare it with the main **Privacy** page in another tab if needed. This side-by-side reading is useful when you want to see whether app-related information is described differently from normal website browsing.

As you review the page, look for sections that mention app-specific activity. These may include references to:
- account access through an app,
- notifications,
- device-related information,
- diagnostics,
- identifiers connected to app use.

The key difference is purpose. The **Privacy** page usually explains website and form-related information handling, while **App Privacy** is where you check whether extra details apply when a service uses a mobile app or another app-based connection. If you are only reading public pages, comparing services, or filling out a website form, the main **Privacy** page may answer most of your questions. If you expect to use an app-connected feature, the **App Privacy** page becomes more important.

When the wording differs between the two pages, do not assume they mean the same thing. Read the app-specific sections carefully and note whether the page explains how app use creates different privacy considerations from standard browser visits. That distinction helps you decide which policy is most relevant before you continue.

## Comparing the Pages to Answer Common Buyer and Visitor Questions
These four pages work best when you treat them as a set rather than reading only one in isolation. In Sherkety ERP & Website Platform, each page answers a different kind of question, so matching your concern to the correct page saves time and avoids confusion.

Use this quick comparison when deciding where to look first:

| If your question is about... | Open this page |
|---|---|
| What information is collected and why | **Privacy** |
| What rules apply to using the website and its content | **Terms** |
| How cookies or similar tools work during browsing | **Cookies** |
| How privacy applies to mobile or app-based use | **App Privacy** |

This is especially helpful in common visitor situations:
1. Before submitting a contact or demo request, open **Privacy** to review how form details may be handled.
2. Before relying on published service descriptions or business information, open **Terms** to understand website usage conditions.
3. Before browsing multiple product or ERP pages in detail, open **Cookies** if you want to understand how browsing activity may be measured.
4. Before using an app-connected service, open **App Privacy** to review any device- or app-specific handling.

These pages support each other. A buyer comparing ERP modules may read **Cookies** to understand browsing technologies, then open **Privacy** before sending an inquiry. A visitor reviewing legal expectations may read **Terms** first, then move to **Privacy** for data-handling details. If you still have a question after comparing the relevant pages, move from reading to direct contact through the website’s inquiry or contact options, as covered in [Contacting Sherkety Through Forms and Direct Channels](doc:contacting-sherkety-through-forms-and-direct-channels).

## Checking That You Are Reading the Current Policy Version
Before relying on any policy page, make sure you are reading the current version shown on the live Sherkety ERP & Website Platform website. The most reliable way to do this is to open the page directly from the footer instead of using an old bookmark, a shared browser tab, or a copied link from an earlier visit.

Once the page opens, look near the top or bottom of the content for a visible update marker. Depending on the page layout, this may appear as an **effective date**, **last updated** line, or another revision note. If you see one of these indicators, use it to confirm that the page reflects the latest published wording available to visitors.

[SCREENSHOT: Policy page showing a visible last updated or effective date]

If something seems unclear, compare related pages before drawing a conclusion. For example:
- If a privacy statement mentions cookies, also open the **Cookies** page.
- If app-related data handling appears on the main **Privacy** page, compare it with **App Privacy**.
- If a usage rule affects how you interpret service information, read the matching section on the **Terms** page.

This comparison is useful when wording overlaps across pages. A single topic may appear in more than one place, but each page still has its own focus. Reading them together helps you avoid missing important context.

If you are unsure whether a page is current, return to the website footer and reopen the policy from there. That simple check is often enough to confirm you are viewing the live published version rather than an outdated page. When a statement still appears inconsistent after comparing the relevant policy pages, use the website’s contact options to request clarification before submitting sensitive information or proceeding with an app-related action.
