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 Web App, getting it right matters: Most web apps set cookies and run analytics, which triggers disclosure obligations under the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the CCPA. This free privacy policy generator asks a few questions about your Web App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Web 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.
Most web apps set cookies and run analytics, which triggers disclosure obligations under the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the CCPA.
What a Web App privacy policy should cover
A good privacy policy for a Web App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- Cookies and similar storage, and their purposes
- Analytics and any embedded third-party widgets
- Account data if users can sign up
- 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 Web App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
Does a simple web app really need a privacy policy?
If it sets non-essential cookies, runs analytics, or collects any personal data such as an email address, yes. A short, accurate policy is far safer than none.
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.
