Privacy Policy Generator

How to use Privacy Policy Generator

1. Enter your company name, website and contact address.
2. Select the data you collect and the services you use.
3. Generate, then read it in full and cut every clause that does not describe you.
4. Add every third-party service that receives data, and publish it at a stable URL.
5. This is a template, not legal advice, and it is not tailored to your jurisdiction.
6. Analytics and advertising make you a processor of personal data — an IP address counts.
7. A policy is a notice; cookie consent is a separate obligation needing a real choice.

You almost certainly need one

GDPR in the EU and UK, CCPA and CPRA in California, PIPEDA in Canada, the DPDP Act in India, LGPD in Brazil and a long list of others all require a privacy notice when you process personal data. That threshold is lower than people assume: an IP address is personal data under GDPR, so a site running Google Analytics or serving ads is processing it. Apple and Google both require a policy URL before an app goes on their stores, which is how most people discover the obligation.

It has to describe what you actually do

A generated policy listing practices you do not follow is worse than none — it is a written record of what you claimed. Read every clause and cut what does not apply. Then add what the template cannot know: every third-party service that receives data. Analytics, ad networks, payment processors, email providers, error tracking, session recording, chat widgets and CDNs are all disclosable, and the list is longer than most site owners expect until they audit their own script tags.

The rights section is the operative part

GDPR gives people the right to access their data, correct it, have it deleted, take it elsewhere and object to processing — and a right to complain to a supervisory authority. CCPA gives Californians rights to know, delete and opt out of sale or sharing. A policy has to name these and give a working route to exercise them. That is the part with operational consequences: you need a monitored address and a process, because the response deadlines are statutory — one month under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA.

Consent, cookies, and the banner

A policy is a notice, not consent. Under GDPR and the ePrivacy rules, non-essential cookies and similar technologies need consent obtained before they are set — which means a banner that actually blocks them until a choice is made, with refusing as easy as accepting. Regulators across Europe have fined sites for banners where “accept” was one click and “reject” was buried. Analytics and advertising cookies are not essential, whatever convenience suggests.
