What a Privacy Policy Must Cover

A privacy policy is a legal disclosure explaining what personal data your website or app collects, why, and how it's used, stored, and shared. Under GDPR (EU/UK) and similar laws elsewhere, this disclosure is not optional if you collect any personal data -- including through cookies, analytics, or contact forms. Core elements: what data is collected (name, email, cookies, payment info, analytics), the legal basis and purpose for collecting it, how long it's retained, who it might be shared with (like Google Analytics or payment processors), and how users can exercise their rights (access, deletion, opt-out).

If you use Google Analytics or Google AdSense, your privacy policy must specifically disclose their use of cookies and provide an opt-out mechanism -- this is both a legal requirement in many jurisdictions and an AdSense program policy requirement. Keep your policy in plain, accessible language; overly dense legal jargon undermines the transparency the policy is supposed to provide, and some regulators explicitly penalize policies that are needlessly hard to understand.

Frequently Asked Questions

This generator creates a solid starting template covering the most common disclosures, but true compliance depends on your specific data practices, jurisdiction, and industry (health, finance, and children's services all have extra requirements). Review the generated policy carefully, confirm it accurately reflects what your site actually does, and consult a privacy lawyer if you handle sensitive data or operate in multiple regulatory regions.
Yes -- most privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, and similar) require disclosure of any tracking technology, including analytics cookies, even if you don't collect names or emails directly. Google Analytics itself requires publishers to have a privacy policy disclosing its use as a condition of its terms of service.
A privacy policy explains what data you collect and how you handle it -- it's about user data and privacy rights. Terms of Service (or Terms & Conditions) governs the rules for using your site or service -- acceptable use, liability, account rules, and dispute resolution. Most websites need both, and they serve different legal purposes.
