What is Privacy Policy Generator?

Generate a privacy policy for your website or app. Answer questions about your data practices — what you collect, how you use it, and who you share it with — and get a document covering GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and other frameworks. Download as HTML, PDF, Markdown, or plain text.

The generator handles common platform types (websites, mobile apps, SaaS, e-commerce) and produces clauses for the data you actually collect: emails, payment info via Stripe or similar, analytics cookies, location, device IDs. Toggle GDPR, CCPA, LGPD (Brazil), CalOPPA, or PIPEDA (Canada), COPPA (children's data), or Australia's Privacy Act (APP) — each adds the right rights-and-disclosures section. Set a data retention period and the generator drops in a matching Article-5-style clause, name your third parties (Google Analytics, Mailchimp, Cloudflare) and the output covers your bases.

How to use

1. Enter your business details: company name, website URL, contact email, and the type of platform (website, mobile app, SaaS).
2. Select what applies: data types collected (email, cookies, analytics, payment info), third-party services used, and applicable regulations.
3. Preview the generated policy, customize any sections, then download as HTML, plain text, Markdown, or PDF.

When to use

• Launching a new website or app and need a policy live before going public.
• Adding Stripe, Mailchimp, or Google Analytics and your existing policy is silent on them.
• App Store or Google Play review flags a missing privacy URL on your submission.

FAQ

Is the generated policy legally binding without a lawyer reviewing it?

The document is enforceable as soon as you publish it and users access your service. That said, for regulated industries (health, finance, children's data under COPPA) you should still have counsel review it before it goes live.

Does this cover both GDPR and CCPA at the same time?

Yes. Toggle any combination of GDPR, CCPA, LGPD (Brazil), CalOPPA, and PIPEDA (Canada), COPPA (children's data), and Australia's Privacy Act (APP) and the matching clauses appear in the output — EU rights and DPO references for GDPR, do-not-sell language for CCPA, Article-7 lawful basis for LGPD, Do-Not-Track honored for CalOPPA, and consent-and-purpose limits for PIPEDA.

How often should I update the policy after publishing?

Any time you add a new data type or third-party service, change retention periods, or expand to a new jurisdiction. A good baseline is a yearly review with the effective date bumped to reflect the change.

Do I need this if my site only uses contact forms and no analytics?

Yes. A contact form collects email addresses and free-text content. GDPR treats both as personal data, so even a static brochure site needs a policy explaining what happens to that information.

What's the difference between the HTML, PDF, Markdown, and plain text exports?

HTML is ready to paste into a CMS or a /privacy page. Markdown suits GitHub, docs sites, or static generators. Plain text works for email attachments, in-app legal screens, or any environment without formatting. PDF opens a print-ready, paginated document you can save or hand to counsel.
