Updated Layout of Legal pages

Our new page layout focuses on being able to read it good and the structure making it easier for you to find and understand the information that matters most.

What’s new:

Website Icon now shows on creator pages

We changed how links are shown on creator pages by adding automatic website icons. When you add a link to your profile, it will now automatically get and show the website's icon, now adding a more visual and recognizable way to show your links and for users to recognize what the link is.

What changed:

• Automatic icon: You don't need to choose an icon for your website. When pasting the websites URL it will automatically fetch the websites icon.

Added custom website names

For better user experience and profile customization, we've added an option for users to be able to add a label of what there website links to.
