Privacy Policy Generator

About This Tool

Let’s be honest—privacy policies are a pain. You know you need one, but writing it from scratch? No thanks. That’s where a privacy policy generator comes in. It’s basically a shortcut that helps you create a legal document without hiring a lawyer or spending hours Googling templates. I’ve used a few of these tools over the years. Some are clunky. Some are surprisingly decent. The good ones ask you a few questions—what kind of site you run, what data you collect, whether you use cookies—and then spit out a policy that actually makes sense. It won’t win any awards for creativity, but it’ll cover your bases. Think of it like a legal checklist with autocomplete. You still have to read the final version, tweak it if needed, and make sure it matches what your app or website actually does. But instead of starting with a blank page, you’ve got something solid to work with.

Key Features

• Quick setup – Answer 5–10 questions and get a draft in minutes.
• Customizable templates – Pick one that fits your business type (blog, e-commerce, SaaS, etc.).
• Cookie and tracking info – Automatically includes sections for cookies, analytics, and third-party tools like Google Ads or Facebook Pixel.
• GDPR and CCPA ready – Covers major privacy laws so you’re not left hanging if someone from the EU or California visits your site.
• Easy updates – If you change how you collect data, most generators let you refresh the policy without starting over.
• Plain English option – Some tools offer a simpler version alongside the legal jargon, which is great for transparency.

FAQ

Is a generated privacy policy legally binding?
It can be—if you use it correctly. The generator gives you a solid foundation, but you still need to make sure it accurately reflects your practices. If your policy says you don’t sell data but you actually do, you’re still on the hook. Always double-check and consider having a lawyer glance at it if you’re handling sensitive info.

Do I really need one if my site is small?
Yes. Even if you’re just running a blog with a contact form, you’re collecting email addresses. That counts as personal data. Plus, if you use Google Analytics or display ads, those services require you to have a privacy policy. Better safe than sorry.
