Where to change it in WooCommerce

Create it under Pages › Add New, then add it to the footer menu under Appearance › Menus.

In WooCommerce the theme and the plugins both contribute markup. Create a child theme before editing: otherwise the next update overwrites your changes.

Why it matters

The European Accessibility Act requires service providers to publish information about how the service meets accessibility requirements. It is the one thing a market surveillance authority can check without opening a single developer tool: they look at your footer, and if it is not there, they have a documented failure.
