Terms of service, privacy policies, and legal pages for your website

Legal pages every website, app, and online store needs

If your site collects any personal data, even basic analytics or a contact form, privacy laws like the GDPR and CCPA expect you to disclose it. App stores, payment processors, and ad networks also routinely require a privacy policy and terms of service before they will approve you. These generators create each of those pages from your actual details instead of leaving you to adapt someone else's legalese.

Start with the privacy policy and terms and conditions, then add a refund policy if you sell anything and a disclaimer if you publish advice or affiliate content. Each generator asks a short set of questions and produces a document you can publish directly on your site.

Which website policy do you need?

Privacy Policy

You collect any personal data: analytics, cookies, sign-up forms, or payments. Required under GDPR and CCPA, and by Google, Apple, and most ad networks.

Terms & Conditions

You want enforceable rules for using your site or app: user accounts, acceptable use, intellectual property, and limits on your liability.

Refund Policy

You sell products or services online and need clear return windows, refund conditions, and exchange procedures customers agree to before buying.

Disclaimer

You publish content people might rely on: affiliate recommendations, or health, legal, or financial information that needs a liability disclaimer.

Common website policy mistakes

  • Copying another site's privacy policy: A policy that describes data practices you do not actually have can itself be a deceptive trade practice. Your policy must match what your site really collects.
  • Never updating your policies: Adding analytics, an email tool, or an ad network changes what data you collect. Review your privacy policy whenever your stack changes.
  • Hiding refund terms until after checkout: Buyers who discover restrictive refund terms after paying dispute charges. Link your refund policy from product and checkout pages.
  • Skipping affiliate disclosures: The FTC requires clear disclosure when you earn commissions from links. A disclaimer page plus in-content disclosures covers this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a privacy policy legally required for my website?

If you collect personal data from visitors in the EU, UK, California, or several other jurisdictions, yes. Even where the law is unclear, platforms you depend on, like Google AdSense, Apple's App Store, and Stripe, require one contractually. In practice nearly every site that has a form, analytics, or accounts needs a privacy policy.

Are website terms and conditions actually enforceable?

Courts generally enforce terms a user actively agreed to, for example by checking a box at signup (clickwrap). Terms only linked in a footer that users never see (browsewrap) are much weaker. Make acceptance explicit wherever users create accounts or make purchases.

Do I need a disclaimer if I already have terms and conditions?

They do different jobs. Terms govern how people may use your site. A disclaimer limits liability for the content itself, which matters if you publish affiliate links or informational content about health, finance, or law. Most content sites should have both.
