About this tool
A Privacy Policy is a legal document that explains how a website collects, uses, stores, and shares visitor data. It is required by law in many jurisdictions — including the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), Brazil (LGPD), and others — for any website that collects personal information.
Use this generator to create a privacy policy tailored to your site's data practices. Fill in your company details, select the types of data you collect, cookies you use, and regulations that apply. The tool generates a complete policy in HTML, Markdown, or plain text that you can copy and publish on your site.
Example: A SaaS website that uses Google Analytics and collects email signups would select "Personal info", "Usage data", "Device info", "Analytics cookies", "Essential cookies", "Analytics (third-party)", and "GDPR". The output includes sections for data collection, cookies, user rights under GDPR, and contact information.
Disclaimer: This tool generates a template based on common privacy policy structures. It is not a substitute for legal advice. Review the generated policy with a qualified attorney to ensure it meets your specific legal obligations.
FAQ
Do I really need a privacy policy on my website? ›
Yes, if your website collects any personal data (even IP addresses via server logs or analytics cookies). Laws like GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and PIPEDA require a privacy policy. Even if you do not collect data, having a privacy policy builds trust with visitors.
What is the difference between GDPR and CCPA? ›
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies to anyone processing data of EU/EEA residents, regardless of where the business is located. It requires explicit consent for data collection and gives users rights to access, rectify, and erase their data. CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) applies to businesses serving California residents and focuses on the right to know what data is collected, the right to delete it, and the right to opt-out of data sales.
Can I use the generated policy as-is on my site? ›
The generated policy is a template that covers common scenarios. However, every website is different and privacy laws vary by jurisdiction and industry. You should review the output, fill in company-specific details, and consult a lawyer to ensure full legal compliance.
What format should I publish my privacy policy in? ›
HTML is the most common format — you can embed it directly on your website at a URL like /privacy. Markdown is useful if your site is built with a static site generator. Plain text is rarely used for public-facing policies but can be useful for internal documentation.
