How to use Privacy Policy Generator

What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.

How to draft a privacy policy from a template

Enter your company name, website, contact email, and governing country, and the tool assembles a nine-section policy covering collection, use, cookies, third parties, retention, rights, changes, governing law, and contact. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is transmitted.

Treat the output as a skeleton to edit, not a document to publish. The template cannot know what your product collects or who you send it to, and a policy that describes a business other than yours is a liability rather than a protection.

  • Fill in the company name, website URL, contact email, and governing country.
  • Copy the document out and open it in an editor.
  • Rewrite section 1 so it lists the data you genuinely collect, including every third-party tool that receives it.
  • Delete or correct any claim that is not true of you, starting with the statement that you do not sell personal information.
  • Add an effective date, and have a lawyer review it before you publish if you have users in the EU, the UK, or California.
Tips

Getting a better result out of Privacy Policy Generator

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • This produces a template, not legal advice, and a privacy policy that does not describe what you actually collect is worse than no policy at all. An inaccurate policy is a statement you have published about your own conduct, and regulators treat a mismatch between the policy and the practice as a violation in itself.
  • The template asserts specific things on your behalf, including that you do not sell personal information. If you do sell or share data, or you run ad tech that counts as sharing under the CPRA, that sentence in the generated document is false and it is your name on it.
  • It asks for four things: company name, website URL, contact email, and governing country. It never asks what data you collect, why, where you store it, who you send it to, or how long you keep it, which are exactly the questions a compliant policy has to answer.
  • That means it is not GDPR-compliant out of the box. Articles 13 and 14 require you to name the controller, state a legal basis for each purpose, disclose international transfers, give retention periods, and tell people they can complain to a supervisory authority. None of that is in the generated text.
  • It is also short of what US state law expects. The CCPA and CPRA want the specific categories of personal information you collect, the sources, the business purposes, and, if it applies, a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link.
Limits

What Privacy Policy Generator does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • Four inputs only: company, website, email, and governing country. It has no way to know what your product actually does with data.
  • No effective date or last-updated line, which is a basic expectation of every published policy and something you will have to add yourself.
  • No GDPR legal basis, no international transfer clause, no data protection officer, no supervisory authority, no CCPA categories table, no Do Not Sell link, and no COPPA provision for children.
  • It is boilerplate written for general information, not a document reviewed by a lawyer for your jurisdiction, your sector, or your business model.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Can I publish this as it is?

You can publish anything, but you should not publish this unedited. Every claim in it is a claim about your business, and at least one of them (that you do not sell personal information) may not be true for you. Read every line and change what does not describe you.

Is it GDPR compliant?

No. GDPR requires you to name a legal basis for each processing purpose, disclose transfers outside the EEA, state retention periods, identify the controller, and inform people of their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The template contains none of that, because it never asked you the questions it would need to.

Does it cover California?

Not adequately. The CCPA and CPRA expect a description of the specific categories of personal information you collect, the sources and purposes, and a Do Not Sell or Share link if you share data with advertisers. The generated text does not include any of it.

What is the single most important thing to change?

Section 1, which describes what you collect. The template guesses at name, email, IP address, browser type, and pages visited. Replace that with the actual list, including every analytics, advertising, payment, and support tool you run, because that section is the one people and regulators check.

Are the details I type stored anywhere?

No. The document is assembled in your browser as you type and the text never leaves the page. Copy it out yourself when you are done.
