Common questions about privacy policies
Everything you need to know about legal documents for your website or app.
Is PolicyGen completely free?
Yes. PolicyGen is 100% free with no hidden costs. There is no signup, no subscription, no watermarks on generated documents, and no features locked behind a paywall. The tool is supported by advertising.
Do I need a privacy policy for my website?
Yes, if your website collects any personal data — including email addresses, analytics cookies, or contact form submissions — you are legally required to have a privacy policy. This is mandated by GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and CalOPPA.
What's the difference between a privacy policy and terms of service?
A privacy policy explains how you collect, use, and protect user data. Terms of service define the rules users agree to when using your site or app — covering acceptable use, intellectual property, and liability. Most websites need both.
Are the generated documents GDPR compliant?
Our templates include all required GDPR sections when you enable GDPR compliance in the wizard — including lawful basis for processing, data subject rights, data retention, and third-party processor disclosures. We recommend having a qualified attorney review your final documents.
Does my website need a cookie policy?
If your website uses cookies — including analytics cookies (Google Analytics), advertising cookies, or session cookies — you need a cookie policy under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations. This applies to any website with EU visitors.
Can I use the generated documents immediately?
Yes. Once generated, copy the document as HTML, Markdown, or plain text and publish it directly on your website. No attribution to PolicyGen is required and the documents are yours to use freely.
How often should I update my privacy policy?
Update your privacy policy whenever you change how you collect or use data, add new third-party services, or when applicable privacy laws change. At minimum, an annual review is recommended.
Do I need a privacy policy for a mobile app?
Yes. Both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store require a privacy policy for apps that collect any user data. PolicyGen supports mobile app as a business type in its wizard.
