    Answer in plain language and your California privacy notice is assembled from them.

  • Only what applies

    Clauses appear when your answers switch them on, including EU, UK and California wording where a policy has it.

  • Guidance as you go

    Plain-language hints on the questions, and a note wherever the law makes an answer matter.

    HTML, Markdown, plain text or PDF, free. Hosting at a permanent link is optional.

FAQ

California Privacy Notice questions, answered.

Do I need a separate CCPA notice?

Some businesses publish the California disclosures inside their privacy policy, others as a separate notice. Policy Monster can do either: the privacy policy includes California wording when you select California, and this notice is available on its own.

Does it cover the CPRA?

Yes — the notice is written for the CCPA as amended by the CPRA.

Is the California privacy notice generator free?

Yes. Creating, copying and downloading your California privacy notice is free. A few specialist clauses — selling or sharing data for advertising, ccpa/cpra wording (california) — are paid, from $34, and only if your answers need them. Prices are shown next to each answer before you pay.

Do I need an account?

Not for a free policy — you can create one as a guest. An account is needed to pay for clauses, to host a policy, or to come back and edit it later.

Can I copy and paste it into my website?

Yes. Copy the HTML into a page on your site, or download it as HTML, Markdown, plain text or PDF.

Can I link to it instead?

Yes, once it includes a paid clause: a paid policy can be hosted at a permanent URL you link from your footer, and is updated for you when its clauses are revised. Every published version is kept. Free policies are copied or downloaded.

Is this legal advice?

No. Policy Monster is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. The generator assembles a document from your answers; for advice about your own situation, speak to a qualified lawyer.
