Links in form fields - privacy policy

We've put our made our privacy policy a checkbox field on a form, so that people have to agree to it when they fill in that form. We want to link out to the privacy policy within that field so people can see what they're signing themselves up for. When I include the link in the form label, you can't actually click on it in the checkbox field, because it naturally checks the box instead. It only does this on embedded forms in the website - when it's a Marketo landing page, you are able to click that link strangely.

Can anyone suggest a work around please? Bearing in mind there is now data against this field.

I commonly put Privacy Policy/EULA or other legal links in a Rich Text area, not in the label of a field.

You can have clicking a link in the RT enable a checkbox field elsewhere on the form (to "prove" they've read the policy), but trying to stuff the policy into the label doesn't sound right IMO.

    Thanks Dan - are those paragraphs of text with your statements a separate field to the actual checkbox field? Or is this some custom styling you've used to put that text there?
