People look for signs that a real team stands behind a site.

Visible trust links make that investigation easier.

## What It Is

Trust links usually point to pages such as Privacy, Contact, Support, About, Terms, or Security.

## Why It Matters

- They reduce uncertainty before signup or purchase.
- They show users where to go when they have concerns.
- They are common trust signals on legitimate public products.

## Best Practices

1. Include at least privacy and contact or support paths.
2. Make the links easy to find, usually in navigation or footer.
3. Keep those pages current and not thin placeholders.

## Common Mistakes

- No visible privacy or contact path.
- Links that lead to empty or outdated pages.
- Hiding trust links behind signup walls.

## Quick Checklist

- Privacy path visible.
- Contact or support path visible.
- Trust pages are public and maintained.

## Final Takeaway

Trust is easier to grant when users can verify who is behind the page and how to reach them.
