Free Privacy Policy Generator

Answer a few questions about your website and how you collect data, and this tool will generate a baseline privacy policy in Markdown format. Copy it, download it, and customize it for your needs.

Why Does Every Website Need a Privacy Policy?

A privacy policy is a legal document that explains what personal data you collect from visitors, how you use it, who you share it with, and how users can exercise their rights. Most jurisdictions, including the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), and many others, legally require websites to have one.

This generator creates a starting-point template. It is not legal advice, and we recommend having an attorney review your final policy, especially if you handle sensitive data or operate across multiple jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this template make me GDPR compliant?+
No. This template provides a standard structural starting point. GDPR compliance also requires opt-in consent mechanisms, data processing records, deletion request processes, and often a Data Protection Officer. Have a legal professional review your policy.
Where should I put my Privacy Policy?+
Your Privacy Policy should be linked from every page of your website, typically in the footer. It must also be accessible during checkout and at the point of data collection (e.g., contact forms, newsletter signups).
Do I need a privacy policy if I don't collect personal data?+
In most cases, yes. Even if you don't actively collect data via forms, your server logs IP addresses, and if you use any analytics or advertising tools, third parties are collecting data on your behalf. Many legal frameworks still require disclosure.
Can I use this generated policy for my mobile app?+
This template is designed for websites. Mobile apps have additional requirements (like app store data disclosures and device-level permissions). You may need a separate or expanded policy reviewed by legal counsel.
What is a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?+
A DPA is a contract between you and any third-party service provider (like an analytics platform) that processes personal data on your behalf. Under GDPR, you are required to have DPAs in place with all such processors. This generator does not create DPAs.
