Free Privacy Policy Generator
This free privacy policy generator writes a privacy policy for a website or app from your company name, website, country and contact email. Tick the tools you use, such as analytics, advertising, cookies, a newsletter or a payment processor, and whether you serve visitors in the EU, UK or California, and it returns clean HTML plus a plain-text copy. Most sites are legally required to publish one.

About this tool
A privacy policy explains what personal data you collect, why, how long you keep it, who you share it with and what rights visitors have. The generator builds those sections from the details you enter and adds a paragraph for each service you tick: analytics (for example Google Analytics), advertising networks (for example AdSense), cookies, a newsletter provider and a payment processor. The GDPR option adds the legal bases and rights the EU and UK rules require; the CCPA option adds the California rights and the "do not sell" line.
The HTML version uses only headings, paragraphs and lists, so it drops into WordPress, Shopify, Wix or a hand-coded page and takes your site's styling. The plain-text version suits an app store listing or a PDF. Both carry the generation date as the "last updated" line. Nothing you type is stored on our server.
A generated policy is a starting point, not legal advice. It cannot know every tool on your site, every country you sell to or every category of data you process, and sites that handle health, financial or children's data have stricter duties. Read it, remove what does not apply, add what is missing, and have a lawyer review it before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Is a privacy policy legally required?
In most places, yes. The GDPR in the EU and UK, the CCPA in California, India's DPDP Act and similar laws elsewhere require you to tell people what personal data you collect and how you use it. Google Analytics, AdSense, Facebook pixels and app stores also require a published privacy policy as a condition of using their services.
Do I need the GDPR section if I am not in Europe?
The GDPR applies to anyone who offers goods or services to people in the EU or UK or monitors their behaviour, wherever the business is based. If your site accepts orders from Europe, runs ads targeted at European visitors or uses analytics on European traffic, tick the GDPR option. It adds the legal bases and the rights those visitors can exercise.
What does the CCPA section add?
The California Consumer Privacy Act gives California residents the right to know what personal information a business collects, to ask for it to be deleted, to opt out of its sale or sharing and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. The section lists those rights and explains how to make a request through your contact email.
Do I need a separate cookie policy?
The generated privacy policy includes a cookies section when you tick the cookies option, which is enough for many sites. The EU ePrivacy rules and some consent tools expect a dedicated cookie page that lists each cookie, its purpose and its lifetime. Use the cookie policy generator on this site if you need that longer version.
Where should the privacy policy link go?
Put it in the footer of every page, next to any form that collects personal data, on the newsletter signup and in the checkout. App stores ask for the URL in the listing, and Google requires it on any site that runs Analytics or AdSense. Keep the URL stable so those references keep working.
