Adding a Footer to a v4 SharePoint 2010 Master Page

I wanted to add a footer to bottom of all pages on my sharepoint 2010 site. I wanted a standard copyright line as well as a link to the privacy policy page. After digging around, I came up with this solution. Add a <DIV> to the copy of the original master page (because we all know you should not modify the default page) right above the DIV for the developer dashboard and right below the comment that ends the nav/content area. I have an example below (in red). Hope this helps someone out.

      <!--End Nav|Content Area-->
    <div style="clear: both; text-align: center; padding: 10px; background-color: #FCFCFC; border: 1px solid #DBDDDE;">

     <p><asp:HyperLink runat="server" NavigateURL="/Pages/Privacy-Statement.aspx" id="HyperLink1">Privacy Statement</asp:HyperLink></p>
    </div>
 
   <div id="DeveloperDashboard">
     <SharePoint:DeveloperDashboard runat="server"/>
    </div>
   </div>
  </div>
 </div>
