A privacy policy is the document that tells users what personal data you collect, why you collect it, who you share it with, and what rights they have over it. For a Slack App, getting it right matters: Listing an app in the Slack App Directory requires a published privacy policy, and Slack’s API Terms of Service govern how you may use the OAuth scopes and workspace data your app requests. This free privacy policy generator asks a few questions about your Slack App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Slack App needs a privacy policy
Privacy laws such as the GDPR, the CCPA, and most app-store rules require a clear, accessible privacy policy before you collect any personal data.
Listing an app in the Slack App Directory requires a published privacy policy, and Slack’s API Terms of Service govern how you may use the OAuth scopes and workspace data your app requests.
What a Slack App privacy policy should cover
A good privacy policy for a Slack App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- The OAuth scopes your app requests and why each one is needed
- Workspace, channel, and message data your app can access
- How data is handled if a workspace uninstalls the app
- What information you collect and the purpose for each type
- The third-party services and processors you use
- How users can access, correct, or delete their data
- A contact address for privacy questions
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your privacy policy entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your Slack App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does my Slack app need a privacy policy to get listed?
Yes. Slack App Directory review requires a reachable privacy policy URL, and it should match the OAuth scopes and workspace data your app actually requests.
Is this privacy policy generator really free?
Yes. The generator runs entirely in your browser, requires no signup, and lets you copy or download the result as HTML or Markdown at no cost.
Is the generated privacy policy legally binding advice?
No. PolicySmith produces a solid starting template, not legal advice. For high-risk situations or specific regulatory questions, have a qualified lawyer review it.
