# Acknowledgements

OTF requires all applications to include an acknowledgement section. Applicants are required to acknowledge and agree to OTF's Data Use Policy for Applicants, Privacy Policy, and confirm age.

On the application form select the **Checkbox field**, and add the prompt(s). You could include additional url's or help text. In addition, you could make this a *required field*. A required field means an applicant will not be able to submit their application without checking off this box.
