Too many links pointing to our privacy policy page: Hurting our website ranking

[michealtech]

Hi community,

As per the "Links" report from GSC, there are millions of pages pointing to our privacy policy page. We can expect high number of links to this page being ours an open source product. But these links are overtaking the count of links pointing to our homepage which are very artificial from few spammy or low quality sites. "Privacy policy" anchor text is also been the top anchor text.

Our homepage ranking dropped and I suspect this is the culprit. Google might be considering this is the important page being linked on top with anchor text. Shall I Disavow these sites and will this makes Google stop counting links, and the anchor text coming from these sites as well?

Suggestions please.

Thanks

Yes, you can disavow those domains and specific URLs.
It will take time to reflect but it will work for sure.
