# How to add a Data Privacy Officer or representative to your Clym account


## Steps to take to add a Data Privacy Officer, or DPO, to your Clym account

Various regulations require you to appoint a Data Privacy Officer, or DPO. A data privacy officer (also referred to as a data protection officer or DPO) helps to educate and train your organization's team members on data privacy regulations and ensures that your organization is operating compliantly. Looking at GDPR as an example, appointing such a person is a requirement for all companies that collect or process EU citizens' personal data.

You can easily add a DPO to your Clym account and manage their details anytime. You can also display their information in your Clym widget to show your website visitors that you take their privacy seriously.

Adding a DPO is an easy 3-step process:

* [Sign in to your Clym Control Center account](#4-1-sign-in-to-your-clym-portal)
* [Access the Configure tab](#4-2-open-your-website-settings)
* [Add a Data Privacy Officer](#4-3-add-a-data-privacy-officer)

#### 1. Sign in to your Clym Control Center account

If you don't already have your DPO or other representatives' data enabled to display in your Clym widget or Governance portal, you will need to toggle the setting on. To display this information in your widget, navigate to the **Manage** tab, click **Platform** to expand the menu, and select **Widget**. Under the **Company** tab, toggle on **Display representatives' data**.
