Getting started with Clym
Welcome to Clym! We are happy you are here.
Whether you are new to website compliance or a seasoned regulation guru, we are here to guide you in getting started with Clym. Below are the recommended first steps to take in your Clym Control Center to begin customizing your website compliance solutions.
1. Company data
Some regulations have certain threshold conditions that determine if your website is subject to their requirements. Under the Configure tab, you can modify your Company data as necessary. Based on the answers that you provide, you will see that your jurisdiction settings may update based on your information, as these settings are dynamically controlled by these threshold conditions. By default, the company data you provide applies to all of the domains across your account. If you need to provide different sets of company data for different domains, you can overwrite the company data for a single domain.
2. Manage
We understand that having a third-party widget on your website may seem intrusive; however, it is Clym's goal to blend in with your content and seamlessly provide your users with a compliant experience. To customize your widget's language, logos, icons, colors and decorations, font, and more, click here to review our knowledge base article on how to customize your Clym widget and Governance Portal.
2. Communication settings
Before your organization begins receiving data subject requests from your website visitors, it is critical to ensure that the right people from your team are notified so that any requests with impending deadlines are met and stress-free. To set one or multiple recipients to be notified of any new data subject requests that you receive, click here to review our knowledge base article on how to change your data subject requests notification email.
3. Legal Documents
While you may already be displaying any legal documents on your website, such as a Privacy Policy or Terms of Service, you may also wish to add these documents to your Clym Control Center account so that they can be accessible directly from within your Clym widget or Governance portal. To configure your legal documents to be available to users in your widget, as well as on your website, click here to review our knowledge base article on how to add a legal document to your Clym Control Center account.
4. Install the widget!
Once your widget has been customized to your liking, it is time to begin the implementation process by adding your unique embed code to your website. Click here to access personalized guides based on your website builder, such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and more.
Optional
Footer links
It is important that you provide a clear and present way for your website visitors to express their privacy choices, configure their accessibility settings, submit a data subject request to your organization, and more. By generating a footer link, you can create a quick way to open sections of your Clym widget or Governance portal. Once you have created your custom footer links, you can further stylize your footer links on your website.
Data Privacy Officer
If your organization has a Data Privacy Officer, or DPO, you can display this information in your Clym widget and Governance portal for your website visitors to see. For more information on how to add a Data Privacy Officer to your Clym account, you can visit our knowledge base.
User access
Whether one user or multiple users need access to your Clym account, you can add an unlimited number of team members to help manage your account. Click here to access information on how to add users, how to remove users, or how to manage any existing user's settings.
Remove previous accessibility or data privacy solutions
One key benefit of Clym's solution is that all of your privacy and accessibility solutions are managed through once solution. If you previously had a cookie consent banner or an accessibility widget on your website, please don't forget to remove this so that there is no interference with Clym.
Congratulations on mastering the basics on your way to becoming a Clym pro!
