Free Privacy Policy Generator for Small Business Websites

Every website that collects a name, an email address or a phone number needs a privacy policy, and most free templates describe a website that is not yours. Tick what your site really does (contact form, booking, payments, newsletter, analytics, ad pixels) and where your customers live, and the generator writes a clear, plain-language privacy policy in English or Arabic that matches it. Copy the HTML, or download it as a file. It is a solid starting draft, not legal advice.

Step 1: verify your email

We send a 6-digit code. Verify once and use every free tool for 30 days. We send no other emails.

How the generator works

You answer five short groups of questions, and each answer adds or removes a part of the policy, so it never lists things your site does not do:

  • Your business: name, website, the email address people should write to about privacy, and an optional postal address.
  • What your website collects: contact forms, online booking, payments, customer accounts, newsletter sign-ups, chat or WhatsApp, call tracking, reviews and job applications.
  • What runs in the background: analytics, advertising pixels, embedded maps or videos and spam protection. These decide the cookies section and whether you need a consent banner or an opt-out link.
  • Where your customers are: the United States, the EU or UK, Canada or other countries. Each adds the matching rights section (for example GDPR legal bases, US state privacy rights, or Canadian access and correction rights).
  • How long you keep enquiries, the policy language and the effective date.

What a small business privacy policy must cover

Most privacy laws ask the same basic questions: who you are, what personal information you collect, why you collect it, who you share it with, how long you keep it, how you protect it, what rights people have and how to contact you. California’s online privacy law (CalOPPA) applies to any commercial website that collects personal information from California residents, whatever the size of the business, and asks you to post the policy where people can find it, list the categories you collect and the types of third parties you share with, explain how you announce changes, show an effective date and say how you respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

Around 20 US states now have broader consumer privacy laws, but most of them only apply above a size threshold (for example data about 100,000 residents, or less in some states). The EU and UK GDPR applies as soon as you offer services to people there and adds legal bases, a right to complain to a regulator and rules for sending data abroad. Google Analytics and the main ad platforms also require you to disclose their use in your policy. For the full picture, read our privacy policy and cookie consent guide.

After you generate it

  • Read it once and change anything that is not true for your business. A policy that promises something you do not do is worse than no policy.
  • Publish it on its own page (for example /privacy-policy) and link it in your footer, next to every form that collects details, and in your booking and payment steps.
  • If you use analytics or ad pixels and have visitors from the EU or UK, add a cookie banner that blocks those tags until people agree.
  • If you use ad pixels and serve US customers, add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” contact route and honour Global Privacy Control signals where the law requires it.
  • Update the effective date and the text whenever you add a new tool, form or provider.

Why we built it

When ITCM builds a website for a client, the privacy page is written from the features we actually install: the booking system, the lead inbox, the admin panel and the app. This tool uses the same checklist. If you would rather have the whole website done for you, we build your website and app free first, you see it finished, and you pay $150 one-time only if you are happy.

Frequently asked questions

Does a small business website really need a privacy policy?
If the site collects any personal information, such as a contact form, a booking form, a newsletter sign-up or analytics cookies, then yes in practice. California’s CalOPPA applies to any commercial website that collects personal information from California residents, GDPR applies when you serve people in the EU or UK, and Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta require a privacy disclosure in their terms.
Is this privacy policy generator really free?
Yes. You confirm your email once with a 6-digit code, then you can use this and every other ITCM tool as often as you like for 30 days. There is no watermark, no paid upgrade and we never send you marketing emails.
Is the generated policy legal advice?
No. It is a clear starting draft built from your answers and common requirements of US, EU/UK and Canadian privacy rules. If you handle health, financial or children’s data, sell data, or have many customers in regulated markets, have a lawyer review it.
Do I need a cookie banner as well?
If you have visitors from the EU or UK and use analytics or advertising cookies, yes: those tags should wait for consent. In the US a banner is not generally required, but if you use ad pixels you should give people a way to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of their data where state law applies. Strictly necessary cookies never need consent.
Can I get the policy in Arabic?
Yes. Choose Arabic as the policy language and the whole policy is written in Arabic with right-to-left layout. You can generate it twice to get an English and an Arabic version for a bilingual website.
Where should I put the privacy policy on my website?
On its own page with a clear name such as “Privacy Policy”, linked from the footer of every page, from every form that collects details, and from your booking, checkout and newsletter sign-up steps. CalOPPA expects a conspicuous link, usually on the homepage.
How often should I update my privacy policy?
Whenever your website starts collecting something new, you add a provider such as a booking app or chat tool, or the law changes. Review it at least once a year and change the effective date each time you edit it.
