Privacy Policies

Privacy Policies (privacypolicies.com) operates a web-based generator that produces customized legal documents for online businesses. Its core product creates a privacy policy in roughly three minutes through a questionnaire that asks which platforms the document will cover, details of the website and/or app, the country of operation, and the categories of user information collected. The finished policy is emailed to the user and can be copied, linked to, or downloaded.

Beyond privacy policies, the site offers generators for terms and conditions agreements, cookies policies, end-user license agreements for mobile and desktop apps, return and refund policies for ecommerce stores, and disclaimers or disclosures for websites. It also provides a cookies notice and cookie consent banner intended to support compliance with the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR. Documents are positioned by variant use case, including website, mobile app, ecommerce, SaaS, CPRA/CCPA, GDPR, CalOPPA, and custom policies.

The company states that each generated policy is built from the information the customer supplies rather than from a fixed template, taking into account industry, where and how the business operates, and the technology in use. Generated policies are adapted to the major privacy laws relevant to the customer's stated operating locations. The company also publishes a blog with explanatory articles on privacy and data protection topics, attributed to its "Legal Writing Team," and distributes a newsletter.

Business model

The company delivers self-service document generation over the web. It advertises free generation of privacy policies, terms and conditions, and other documents, and positions the service as costing a fraction of engaging a lawyer for the same result. Completed documents are either hosted by the company at no charge, with a hyperlink supplied to the customer, or downloaded by the customer in HTML, DOCX or PDF format for further editing.
