A plain-English privacy policy template for your website.Open tool →
Why you need one
Laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK), California's CCPA/CPRA and several other US state privacy laws require it, and so do Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel and app stores. It also builds trust.
What it should cover
What you collect and how, why you use it, cookies and tracking tools, who you share it with (hosting, email, payment and analytics providers), how long you keep it, how people can access or delete their data, and how to contact you.
Create a first draft
The Privacy Policy Generator builds a plain-English template from what your site actually uses – forms, analytics, ads, newsletter, payments or accounts. Put it on its own page and link it in your footer.
Get it reviewed
A template is a starting point, not legal advice. Have a lawyer check it if you handle health, financial or children's data or sell across several countries.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need one without a contact form?
If you use analytics or cookies, usually yes.
Do I need a cookie banner too?
In the EU/UK, for non-essential cookies, yes.
How often should I update it?
Whenever you add new tools or data uses.
