Your Policy

A privacy policy is a legal document that discloses how your website or application collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data. It is legally required in virtually every jurisdiction and by major platforms including Google, Apple, and Facebook. You'll typically need this alongside a terms of service to be fully covered.

According to a 2024 Cisco Consumer Privacy Survey, 84% of consumers care about data privacy and want more control over how their data is used. Despite this, TrustArc research found that 30% of small businesses still don't have a privacy policy — exposing them to legal risk and eroding customer trust.

GDPR fines have exceeded €4 billion total since 2018. CCPA enforcement is accelerating, with the California Privacy Protection Agency issuing increasing penalties. Even small businesses can face action — GDPR applies to any company processing EU residents' data, regardless of company size or location.

This generator creates a comprehensive privacy policy template based on your answers about data collection practices, third-party sharing, and compliance requirements. It covers GDPR and CCPA provisions. The output is editable — customize it to match your exact practices, then have a lawyer review it for your specific jurisdiction.

How to Use This Generator

  2. Select data types: Check which types of personal data you collect.
  3. Configure compliance: Toggle GDPR and CCPA sections as applicable.
  4. Generate and customize: Review the generated policy, edit as needed, and copy.

Pro Tips

  • Be specific: Don't use vague language like "we may collect data." State exactly what you collect and why.
  • List all third parties: If you use Google Analytics, Stripe, Mailchimp, etc., name them. Users have a right to know who gets their data.
  • Get legal review: Use this as a starting point, then have a privacy lawyer review it for your jurisdiction and industry.
  • Keep it readable: Write at an 8th-grade reading level. Privacy policies don't need to be in legalese to be legally valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I legally need a privacy policy?
Yes, in most jurisdictions. GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), PIPEDA (Canada), LGPD (Brazil), and many other laws require a privacy policy if you collect any personal data. Even if your local law doesn't require one, platforms like Apple App Store, Google Play, and Google AdSense require it. Practically every website that uses analytics or cookies needs one.
What must a privacy policy include?
At minimum: what personal data you collect, how you collect it, why you collect it (legal basis), how you use it, who you share it with, how long you retain it, users' rights regarding their data, and how to contact you. GDPR requires additional specifics including data protection officer details and international transfer mechanisms.
Is this generator a substitute for legal advice?
No. This generator creates a starting template based on common privacy policy requirements. For businesses handling sensitive data, operating in multiple jurisdictions, or with complex data practices, you should have a lawyer review and customize the policy. This tool gives you a solid foundation to work from.
How often should I update my privacy policy?
Review and update whenever you change your data practices — new analytics tools, new marketing platforms, new features that collect data. At minimum, review annually. GDPR requires you to notify users of material changes. Keep a version history with dates for compliance documentation.
What is the difference between GDPR and CCPA?
GDPR (EU) applies to any business processing data of EU residents, regardless of business location. It requires explicit consent for data collection. CCPA (California) applies to businesses meeting revenue or data volume thresholds, and gives consumers the right to opt out of data sales. GDPR is generally more stringent.
Where should I display my privacy policy?
Link it in your website footer (standard location users expect), during signup or checkout forms, in your app's settings, and in cookie consent banners. Make it accessible from every page. GDPR requires the link to be available before any data collection occurs. Most businesses use a dedicated /privacy URL.
