GDPR (DSGVO) on Jira/Confluence footer

[Qvest Digital AG]

Hello Community,

due to european laws we need an accessible page on every website regarding the private policy and impressum.

The Jira Support only gave away these guides:

1. Perform a backup of Jira and the footer.vm file.
2. Stop Jira.
3. Edit the following lines of the <install directory>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/plugins/footer/footer.vm following the steps provided here.
4. Restart your Jira.

and this link: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-edit-the-footer-in-confluence-163415355.html 
for Confluence.

However the problem is that we can not create an underlying page with the privacy policy and terms of agreement without leaving the page (for example Jira Login page or Confluence Login page).

Did anyone have this issue and how did you solve it?

GDPR is a very important and essential topic. This topic is becoming more and more relevant for companies, but it also involves many and large cost risks if you are not GDPR-compliant!

All relevant information about GDPR including the solutions can be found here:

The route that i took to solve this problem is to add custom html. 

In that case i add an javascript that add the content that i want to all the pages. 

You can do that on Confluence administration -> Look and Feel -> Custom HTML

Best regards,

@Qvest Digital AG it sounds like you need to customize the login gadget. Check out this article for customizing it for Jira:

Confluence looks to be a bit different. Check out this article too:
