About the Privacy Policy Generator
Every website that collects any visitor data — and with analytics or ads, that’s effectively every website — is expected to say what it collects and why. This free generator asks seven honest questions about what your site actually does and produces two matched documents: a Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, ready to paste into your site. No account, no paywall on the download, no watermark paragraph advertising the generator.
Why you actually need one
Ad networks require it: Google AdSense’s program policies mandate a privacy policy that discloses cookie-based advertising — applications get rejected without one. Analytics terms require it: Google Analytics’ terms of service oblige you to disclose its use. Laws expect it: the EU’s GDPR and California’s CCPA/CPRA grant visitors rights (access, deletion, opt-out) that your policy must acknowledge if such visitors can reach your site — which, on the internet, they can. Trust: a policy link in the footer is one of the quiet signals users and search engines read as “legitimate site”.
How the generator adapts
The documents change with your answers: tick advertising and the policy gains the AdSense cookie-disclosure and opt-out links; tick payments and both documents add order handling and the “card details never touch our servers” clause; tick accounts and you get account-data and account-responsibility sections. Untick what you don’t use — a policy that claims less than you do is a liability, and one that claims more than you do is noise. The effective date is set to today automatically.
Installing on WordPress
Create a page called “Privacy Policy”, paste with Copy as HTML into a Custom HTML block, publish, and link it in your footer (WordPress also has Settings → Privacy to designate the official page). Repeat for Terms. Regenerate and re-paste whenever your site starts doing something new — adding a newsletter is the classic forgotten update.
The honest disclaimer
These are solid, standard templates covering common requirements — not legal advice. If you operate in a regulated industry (health, finance, children’s services) or need jurisdiction-specific counsel, have a lawyer review the output. For most blogs, tool sites, portfolios and small businesses, this is the practical 20-minute fix. Complete the professional look with our Favicon Generator and XML Sitemap Generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a privacy policy for my website?
If you use analytics, ads, cookies or any form — yes. AdSense and Google Analytics both contractually require disclosure, and GDPR/CCPA grant visitors rights your site is expected to acknowledge.
Is the generated policy GDPR and CCPA compliant?
It covers the core requirements — what you collect, why, sharing, retention, and visitor rights including access and deletion. For regulated industries or specific legal exposure, have a lawyer review it; this is a template, not legal advice.
How do I add the policy to WordPress?
Create a page, paste with “Copy as HTML” into a Custom HTML block, publish, and link it in your footer. WordPress’s Settings → Privacy can designate it as your official privacy page.
Do I get Terms & Conditions too?
Yes — both documents generate together from the same answers, and each adapts: payments add order clauses, accounts add responsibility clauses, ads add the AdSense disclosures.
When should I update my policy?
Whenever your site starts doing something new — adding a newsletter, ads or payments are the classic forgotten updates. Regenerate with the new boxes ticked and re-paste; the effective date updates automatically.
