# Legal document types

> Which document types you can choose when adding a document to the “Legal data” section, what each type is for and what it affects.

When you add a document in **My school → Legal data**, you choose its type. The type helps keep the document list in order: it is shown under the title of each document. Where students see the document depends not on the type, but on the **Show at registration** switch and the agreement level.

## Available types

The **Document type** field has six options. They go in the same order as in the form.

| Type | What it is usually used for |
| - | - |
| **Public offer** | An agreement between the school and the buyer |
| **Privacy policy** | Rules for processing and storing personal data |
| **Medical disclaimer** | A disclaimer for courses about health, sports or psychology |
| **Consent for mailing** | Consent to receive news and promotional messages |
| **Consent to data transfer** | Consent to transfer personal data to third parties |
| **Your document** | Any document that doesn't fit the other types |

For a new document, **Public offer** is selected by default.

## What the type affects

| What | Depends on the type? |
| - | - |
| The caption in the document list, for example “Public offer • offer.pdf” | Yes |
| The link text on the website | No — the **Document title** you entered is shown |
| Showing in the footer | No — the footer has all documents |
| Showing on the login page and at payment | No — depends on the agreement level |
| Checkbox at registration and payment | No — depends on the agreement level |

How to set up where a document is shown — see [Legal documents](https://faq.exode.biz/en/online-schools/legal/overview.md).

> [!TIP]
>
> Name documents the way students should see them: “Offer agreement”, “Personal data processing policy”. The links on the website show the title, not the type.

## Frequently asked questions

> **I chose the “Public offer” type. Why didn't it appear on the payment page?**
>
> The type doesn't define where the document is shown. Turn on **Show at registration** and choose the **Agreement level**. With the **Don't require checking the box** level, the offer appears as a link on the payment page.

> **Can I change the type of a document I already added?**
>
> Yes. Open the document, choose another type and click **Save**. Nothing changes on the website except the caption in the document list.

> **Which type should I choose for school rules or a user agreement?**
>
> Choose **Your document** and give it a clear title. The **Your document** type works the same way as the others.

> **Can I add two documents of the same type?**
>
> Yes, there are no limits on repeated types. Keep in mind that documents apply to the whole school, not to a specific course: both documents will be visible in the footer, and with display turned on — on the login and payment pages too.

> **Do I need to add all document types?**
>
> The platform doesn't require a single mandatory document. You and your lawyer decide which documents your school needs.

> **Why isn't there a “Partnership agreement” type in the list?**
>
> This type is used only on the Exode marketplace and isn't offered in the school document form.
