How do I generate a privacy policy for my website for free?

Open AnyTool’s Privacy Policy Generator, fill in your company name, website and contact email, then tick what data you collect and toggle cookies, analytics, ads, GDPR, CCPA and children’s-privacy options. A privacy-policy template is assembled instantly in Markdown, HTML and plain text with a live preview — entirely in your browser, nothing uploaded. It is a starting template, not legal advice, so have a lawyer review it before publishing.

  • Toggle data categories, cookies, analytics, ads and third-party sharing
  • Optional GDPR (EU/EEA/UK) and CCPA/CPRA (California) rights sections
  • Children’s-privacy (COPPA), retention, security and international-transfer clauses
  • Output as Markdown, ready-to-paste HTML or plain text, with a live preview
  • 100% client-side — your inputs never leave your browser; copy or download .md / .html / .txt

What is

Privacy Policy

A privacy policy is a legal document on a website or app that explains what personal information is collected, how and why it is used, who it is shared with, and the rights and choices users have. Laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA require most sites that handle personal data to publish one. A generated policy is a template that should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer, not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

No tool can guarantee that. This generates a template based on common practice — it is not legal advice. Have a qualified lawyer review it before you publish.

The Privacy Policy Generator produces a starting template from your answers, using wording that reflects common practice for the GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and COPPA. It cannot know exactly what data you collect, which processors you use, or every law that applies to you, so it does not and cannot guarantee compliance. Treat the output as a first draft: fill in the bracketed placeholders, remove anything that does not apply, and have a qualified attorney review the final policy before putting it on your site.

Who you are and how to contact you, what data you collect, how and why you use it, cookies, who you share it with, retention, security, user rights, children’s privacy and how you notify changes.

A privacy policy typically covers: your identity and contact details; the categories of personal data you collect (identity, contact, account, payment, usage, device, location, user content); how and why you use it, including the GDPR legal bases; cookies and tracking; sharing with analytics, advertising and third-party processors; data retention; security measures; user rights such as access, deletion and opt-out; children’s privacy (COPPA); international transfers; how you announce changes; and an effective date. The generator includes each of these and adds the GDPR or CCPA rights sections when you enable them.

No. The policy is assembled entirely in your browser. Nothing you type — company name, website, email or any toggle — is sent to a server, logged or stored.

AnyTool’s Privacy Policy Generator runs completely client-side. Every keystroke and toggle updates the Markdown, HTML, plain text and the live preview locally, with no server round-trip, so your business details and choices never leave your device. The page works offline once cached, and closing the tab discards your draft.

Yes. You can toggle a GDPR rights section for EU/EEA/UK users and a CCPA/CPRA section for California residents, each added with the appropriate wording.

When you enable the GDPR toggle, the policy adds a section listing the EU/EEA/UK rights — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent and the right to complain to a supervisory authority — and references the GDPR legal bases in the “how we use your data” section. Enabling the CCPA/CPRA toggle adds a California section covering the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit sensitive data and non-discrimination. Turn either off and it is removed from the output.

Detailed Explanation

Methodology

How the Privacy Policy Generator Builds the Document

AnyTool’s Privacy Policy Generator maps a short form to a structured legal document entirely in the browser. A reusable, clock-free engine (legalDocEngine) represents the policy as a title, an effective date, an intro and an ordered list of sections, and assembles them into Markdown, ready-to-paste HTML and plain text. The choices you make — what data you collect, whether you use cookies, analytics, advertising or third-party processors, and which jurisdictions apply — decide which sections appear and what boilerplate they contain, so the output reflects your inputs rather than a fixed template.

  • Sections cover identity/contact, data collected, use and legal bases, cookies, sharing, retention, security, rights, children, transfers, changes and contact
  • GDPR and CCPA/CPRA rights sections are added only when their toggles are enabled
  • Children’s-privacy wording adapts to whether the Service is open to under-13s (COPPA)
  • Output is generated as Markdown, HTML and plain text from one model
  • All assembly is pure client-side JavaScript — no server call, no CDN, no upload

Client-Side Processing and the Live Preview

Every input — company name, website, contact email, address and each toggle — is processed locally. The Markdown, HTML, plain text and a rendered HTML preview (produced with the marked library in the browser) all update on each keystroke with no network round-trip, so the business details and choices used to build the policy never leave the device. The page works offline once cached, and the draft is discarded when the tab is closed. Users can copy any format or download privacy-policy.md, .html or .txt.

  • No upload, logging or storage — inputs stay in the browser
  • Live HTML preview rendered locally via the marked library
  • Three export formats: Markdown, HTML and plain text
  • Works offline once cached; closing the tab discards the draft
Limitations

A Template, Not Legal Advice

The generated policy is a starting template based on common practice, not legal advice, and it does not guarantee compliance with the GDPR, the CCPA/CPRA, COPPA or any other law. The tool cannot know exactly what personal data a site collects, which processors it relies on, or every regulation that applies to a given business. The interface states this prominently at the top and again next to the output, and the document contains bracketed placeholders for details the author must supply. The recommended workflow is to complete and trim the draft and then have a qualified lawyer review it before publication.

  • Output is a template, explicitly not legal advice
  • Does not guarantee GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or COPPA compliance
  • Bracketed placeholders flag details the author must supply
  • A qualified lawyer should review the policy before it is published
