# PrivacySettings

Represents an organization’s settings for data privacy and consent management. This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See [Settings](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_settings.htm "Represents the organization settings related to a feature. For example, your password policies, session settings and network access controls are all available in the SecuritySettings component type.") for details.

## File Suffix and Directory Location

PrivacySettings values are stored in the Privacy.settings file in the settings directory. The .settings files are different from other named components because there’s only one settings file for each settings component.

## Version

PrivacySettings components are available in API version 47.0 and later.

## Special Access Rules

To use PrivacySettings, you need the Customize Application or Modify Data Classification user permission.
