# Enable the Enforce Email Privacy Settings Preference

All organizations must enable Data Protection and Privacy and select Make data protection details available in records. Complete all the steps detailed in Salesforce Help to fully set up data protection and privacy.

To use email tracking, Lightning Experience organizations must enable Enhanced Email.

1. From Setup, enter Deliverability in the **Quick Find** box, and then select **Deliverability**.
2. In the Data Protection and Privacy section, select **Enforce email privacy settings**.

Email privacy settings, including email tracking, reflect the preferences set from the data privacy record based on the Individual object and the Email Opt Out setting on a contact, lead, or person account detail page.
