How to Create Your Legal Documents with the privacyterms.io Generators
At privacyterms.io, we have three professional generators. A Privacy Policy Generator, a Terms and Conditions Generator and a Disclaimer Generator. We also offer two basic generator options for the Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions. Our Disclaimer generator is a combination of both, where you have the option to generate either a completely free policy or a combination of both paid and free clauses.
Privacy Policy Generator
A privacy policy is a legal document that outlines your collection, use, and storage of personal data. It is required by law as soon as you collect personal data from any of your users, this includes if you are using Google Analytics to track the traffic on your website.
The privacyterms.io Privacy Policy generator is a highly customisable generator, that provides you with a comprehensive lawyer drafted privacy policy which complies with major international laws, including GDPR, CalOPPA. PIPEDA, and the Australia Privacy Act. We charge a one time fee which covers you for ALL clauses, with no ongoing annual costs.
Let's take a look at how our premium generator works:
Once you make your purchase you will be taken directly into the privacy policy generator, to this screen below:
The generator is split into 3 pages and each page has multiple sections, with check boxes and information to help you make the correct selection. The above screenshot shows the first section where you can choose to have your document in either US or UK English and you can choose whether or not you would like a Table of Contents in your Privacy Policy.
Traveling further down the page you will come to the section for Rights for Non EU Residents, CalOPPA and the comprehensive Cookie Policy Section. Once again you make your selections based on the individual needs of your website.
Continuing on to page 1, there is a Third Part Opt Out Section, where you can select the third parties you share cookies with and give your users the links to opt out of tracking services for these third parties. Next there is a selection of general clauses which include no personal data from children, changes and updates to the policy plus more. When you have made all of your selections you press the continue button on the bottom right of the screen.
You are now on page 2 where you will begin the very comprehensive Personal Data section. Here you can select the type of personal data your website collects, how you collect the personal data from your users, how you use the personal data you have collected, whether you share personal data with any third parties and of so who, and if you retain data, what period of time this is done for. Below is an image of the very beginning of this section:
Traveling down the page you will complete sections "Data Security", then "Non Personal Data", where you can select what non personal data you collect and disclose how you use that data. There is also a large section for "Other Data Clauses" which includes options for account data, transactions and payment data, customer relationship data and many more. Finally you come to the "GDPR compliance" section, part of which is shown below:
The GDPR section allows you to add all of the required Data Privacy Rights, data protection clause and international transfer of personal data, to be compliant with GDPR. Once you have completed the GDPR section then press the continue button in the bottom right of the screen.
Finally you will move onto page 3, where you will complete your company details and the contact information that will be shown in your privacy policy.
You will now need to agree to the terms of privacyterms.io and then click the "get document" button on the bottom left of your screen.
At the review stage you can read through your document and make any adjustments using our editor, if required.

The terms and conditions agreement provides protection for you as well as clearly defining the rules and conditions for use of your website and service.

We also only charge a one time fee for this policy, which covers you for ALL clauses, with no ongoing annual costs.
