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 WordPress Plugin, getting it right matters: WordPress.org guidelines require plugins to disclose any data they send to external services, and many plugins must help site owners meet their own GDPR duties. This free privacy policy generator asks a few questions about your WordPress Plugin and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your WordPress Plugin 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.
WordPress.org guidelines require plugins to disclose any data they send to external services, and many plugins must help site owners meet their own GDPR duties.
What a WordPress Plugin privacy policy should cover
A good privacy policy for a WordPress Plugin is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- Any calls the plugin makes to external or third-party services
- Data stored in the site database on behalf of the owner
- Hooks you provide for data export and erasure requests
- 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

Frequently asked questions
Does a WordPress plugin need its own privacy policy?
If your plugin sends data to your servers or a third-party API, you must disclose it in the readme and your policy. Plugins that store personal data should also support WordPress’s privacy export and erasure tools.
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.
