Custom privacy policy / terms URLs for self-hosters: environment variables are ignored

[EduNetEurope]

We self-host cal.com on Cloudron.

We followed the instructions and set
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL and
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_TERMS_URL
to our own URLs and restarted the app.

Unfortunately, the setting is ignored and the links still point to https://cal.com/terms and https://cal.com/privacy.

can we have a loom/screen-shot of the issue to look at the issue @EduNetEurope?

[EduNetEurope]

Thanks for looking into it, @Praashh.

This is the structure of our env:

NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME="xxx"
NEXT_PUBLIC_COMPANY_NAME="xxx"
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL=https://www.xxx
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_TERMS_URL=https://www.xxx

In the lower left corner, you can see the Privacy Policy URL.

I tried putting the URLs into "" in the env, no change.

We also have the same issue with our instance, so this would be really good to have!

I would also add that my lawyer has advised me that it is not possible to agree to a privacy policy and therefore this whole line of text is not compliant in the EU. much better would be 'By proceeding, you agree to our [terms]. Our privacy policy is available [here].'

Better still would be to be able to customise the whole line, in the same way as the description field in the event page.
