Why You Need a Privacy Policy
GDPR Articles 13 and 14 require organizations to tell people specific information when they process their personal data, and a privacy policy on your website is the usual way to provide it. Articles 13 and 14 specify what information you must provide — including your identity, the purposes of processing, legal basis, retention periods, data subject rights, and details of any international transfers.
Beyond legal compliance, a clear privacy policy builds trust with your users. People can see what you do with their data and how to reach you, which makes them more comfortable sharing it.
Our generator builds a draft around the information Articles 13 and 14 list, with optional sections on automated decision-making, data obtained from other sources, and whether people must provide their data. It is a starting point — you should review and customize the output with a legal professional to ensure it accurately reflects your specific data practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this privacy policy legally sufficient?
This generator produces a draft covering the main GDPR transparency requirements of Articles 13 and 14. However, privacy policies should be tailored to your specific data practices and reviewed by a qualified legal professional. Use the output as a strong starting point, not a final document.
Do I need a separate cookie policy?
While you can include cookie information in your privacy policy, many organizations maintain a separate cookie policy for clarity. The ePrivacy Directive requires specific disclosures about cookies that are distinct from general data processing. Our Cookie Consent Checker can help you assess your cookie compliance.
