Privacy Policy Generator

This tool generates a privacy policy template based on your inputs. While it covers common legal requirements, it should be reviewed by a qualified attorney to ensure compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Laws vary by country and region, so professional legal review is always recommended.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that protects personal data. You need GDPR compliance if you process data of EU residents, regardless of where your business is located. This includes website visitors from the EU, customers in EU countries, or EU employees.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives California residents rights over their personal data. You need to comply if you do business in California and meet certain thresholds: annual revenue over $25 million, buy/sell personal information of 50,000+ California residents, or derive 50%+ of revenue from selling personal information.

You should update your privacy policy whenever you make significant changes to how you collect, use, or share personal data. This includes adding new third-party services, collecting new types of data, or changing your data retention practices. It's good practice to review your policy at least annually.

After generating your policy: 1) Have it reviewed by a lawyer, 2) Add it to your website footer and make it easily accessible, 3) Update the "last modified" date when changes are made, 4) Get user consent where required, 5) Train your team on privacy practices, and 6) Implement the data practices described in your policy.
