What's inside

9 sections, assembled clause by clause.

There is no master template with blanks. Each section is built from the clauses your answers switch on — a clause that does not apply to you is simply not there.

Who it's for

Written for how you actually run your site.

Websites with a contact form or newsletter

Collecting an email address is collecting personal data. The policy explains what you collect, why and for how long.

Sites using analytics or ads

Analytics and advertising tools generally expect the sites using them to disclose it. Your answers add that wording.

Businesses with EU, UK or Californian customers

Select where your customers are and the rights sections those laws describe are added for you.

FAQ

Privacy Policy questions, answered.

Does my website need a privacy policy?

Most websites that collect any personal information — an email address, an analytics cookie, a payment — are covered by privacy laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA, and many third-party services ask for one too. Policy Monster explains what each section covers; it does not give legal advice about your situation.

Can I include GDPR or CCPA wording?

Yes. Tell us your customers are in the EU, the UK or California and the matching rights sections are added. Those are paid clauses, priced next to the answer before you pay anything.

Is the privacy policy generator free?

Yes. Creating, copying and downloading your privacy policy is free. A few specialist clauses — analytics and tracking, email collection and messages, payments, selling or sharing data for advertising, gdpr wording (european union), uk gdpr wording, ccpa/cpra wording (california) — are paid, from $14, 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.
