What do you need?
What these documents cover
A website privacy policy tells visitors what data you collect, how you use it, and their rights. Terms of service set the legal rules for using your site. If you collect any personal data - even analytics cookies - laws like GDPR and CCPA require a privacy policy. This generator builds both from your answers in minutes.
When you legally need each document
| Document | You need it when... |
|---|---|
| Privacy Policy | You collect any personal data: emails, analytics, cookies, payments, accounts |
| Terms of Service | You offer a product/service, user accounts, or want to limit liability |
| Cookie notice | You use cookies/trackers and serve EU/UK visitors |
How to create a privacy policy (step by step)
- Answer the questions about the data you collect, your business details, and your jurisdiction.
- Generate the documents - a privacy policy and terms of service tailored to your answers.
- Review and customize so the wording matches what you actually do with data.
- Have it reviewed by an attorney for regulated industries or high-risk use.
- Publish and link it in your footer and at every point you collect data.
What a privacy policy should include
A complete privacy policy covers a predictable set of disclosures. At minimum it should state:
- What you collect - names, emails, payment data, analytics, cookies, IP addresses.
- How and why you use it - to deliver the service, marketing, analytics, legal compliance.
- Who you share it with - processors like payment providers, analytics, and email tools.
- How long you keep it and how you secure it.
- User rights - access, deletion, correction, and opt-out, plus how to exercise them.
- Contact details and the policy's effective date.
GDPR vs CCPA essentials
The two most-cited privacy laws take different approaches. GDPR (EU/UK) is consent-first: you generally need a lawful basis to process personal data, must let users access and delete their data, and must obtain opt-in consent for non-essential cookies. CCPA/CPRA (California) is opt-out: you must disclose what you collect and sell/share, and give consumers a way to opt out (the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" control). If you serve users in either region, your policy needs the matching rights section - which this generator adds based on your selected jurisdiction. This is general information, not legal advice.
Common privacy policy mistakes
- Copying a competitor's policy. It describes their data practices, not yours - and may be inaccurate or out of date.
- Listing tools you don't use (or omitting ones you do). The policy must match reality.
- Burying or omitting the link. It should be in your footer and at signup/checkout.
- Never updating it. Revisit whenever you add a new tool, integration, or data use.
Frequently asked questions

Why every website needs these documents
The moment your site collects an email address, drops an analytics cookie, or processes a payment, you're handling personal data - and privacy laws apply. A clear privacy policy isn't just a legal checkbox; it builds trust with visitors and is required by ad platforms, app stores, and payment processors before they'll work with you.
What this generator does and doesn't do
It produces a clear, well-structured starting template tailored to your inputs. It does not replace a lawyer. For regulated industries like health or finance, international operations, or anything high-risk, have an attorney review the documents before you publish.
