Is the generated policy legally binding?

This tool generates template legal documents based on common policy structures and your inputs. While the output is written in legal-style language and covers standard clauses, it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified legal professional. We recommend having a lawyer review any policy before publishing it, particularly for complex regulatory environments.

Does the policy generator work without an internet connection?

Yes. Once the page has loaded, the entire document generation happens in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, and the tool works offline after the initial page load.

What is the difference between GDPR and CCPA compliance options?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies to users in the EU/EEA and grants rights including access, deletion, portability, and the right to object. CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) applies to California residents and grants rights to know what data is collected, to opt out of data sales, and to non-discrimination. Selecting both adds the appropriate clause for each regulation to the Your Rights section of the Privacy Policy.

Can I generate both a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at the same time?

Yes. Select 'Both' in the Document Type section. The output panel will show a tab bar to switch between the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. You can download or copy each document independently.

How do I add the policy to my website?

Click 'Download .html' to get a fully formatted HTML page with heading structure and styling. Upload this file to your server or paste the HTML into your CMS. Alternatively, copy the plain text and paste it into your website's page editor.

What happens if I leave a field blank?

If a required field such as company name, URL, or email is left blank, the generated document uses a visible placeholder like [Company Name] or [Contact Email] in that section. Fill in the fields and the document updates instantly.

Free Privacy Policy and Terms of Service generator: customized for your business, ready to publish

Every website and app needs a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, but writing them from scratch is time-consuming and requires legal knowledge. AlteredIdea's policy generator creates real, usable legal documents customized to your specific situation: the data you collect, the third-party services you use, the compliance regimes that apply to your users, and your business jurisdiction.

Unlike generic template tools, this generator uses your actual company name, website URL, and contact email throughout the document: no manual find-and-replace needed. Select your checkboxes, and the document updates live. Download as plain text or a formatted HTML page ready to upload to your server.

How to generate your policy: step by step

1
Choose your document type
Select Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, or Both. When Both is selected, you can toggle between the two generated documents using the tab bar above the output panel.
2
Enter your business information
Fill in your company or app name, website URL, and a contact email address. These values are inserted throughout the document: no [placeholder] is left when a field is filled in.
3
Select what data you collect
Check the boxes for each category of personal data your service collects. The Privacy Policy's Information We Collect section is generated based on your selections, with appropriate wording for each data type.
4
Configure third-party services and user rights
Check any third-party services you use (Google Analytics, Stripe, Facebook Pixel, etc.) and select the user rights and compliance regimes that apply to your users (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA). The generated policy reflects each selection with the correct legal language.
5
Copy or download the document
Use Copy as Plain Text to paste into any editor, Copy as HTML to get a styled webpage with proper heading structure, or download as .txt or .html. The document updates live as you change settings.
