The answer, as recorded

# Privacy policy generators for small businesses Here's who I'd actually point you to, in order: **1. Termly** - My default recommendation for most small businesses. It's the most widely used option (2M+ businesses), covers ~30 privacy laws including GDPR/CCPA/COPPA, and auto-updates your policy when laws change - which is the feature that actually matters, since a static policy rots. Free tier to generate, roughly $10-20/mo for the paid plan, and it bundles a cookie consent banner plus terms of service and cookie policy generators. Works with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy. **2. Termageddon** - The one I'd pick if your priority is legal thoroughness over polish. Single flat plan at $12/mo or $119/yr, and it covers 120+ laws across the US, EU, UK, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, and Canada - notably broader statutory coverage than Termly, though fewer document types (5 generators vs. Termly's 10). Good value because there's no per-site pricing tier games. **3. iubenda** - Best if you operate in multiple countries or need more than just a privacy policy. It's a full compliance suite (privacy policy, cookie consent, T&Cs, accessibility) under one subscription, and it builds the policy from the actual third-party services you use rather than filling in a template. Essentials is $5.99/mo per site (limited to one language, ~20 services, some iubenda branding); Advanced is $24.99/mo per site for all languages. Note the per-site pricing - it gets expensive if you run several sites. **4. Shopify's free policy generator** - If you're on Shopify or just need something reasonable at zero cost, use this before you use a random free template site. Privacy policy, refund policy, and terms of service; you enter your business details and it emails you the document. It's a starting point, not a maintained compliance product - nothing auto-updates. **5. GetTerms** - Solid pick for startups that want lawyer-reviewed wording cheaply. Covers GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and the Australian Privacy Act, with translations available. **6. Rocket Lawyer** - Worth it only if you need a lawyer in the loop or other documents too (supplier agreements, contractor agreements). Free privacy policy template, but the real value is the ~$39.99/mo membership with attorney review and consultations. **One caveat worth stating plainly:** every generator on this list produces a document based on what *you* tell it you collect. If your answers are wrong or your actual data practices drift, the policy is inaccurate - and an inaccurate published privacy policy is worse legal exposure than a generic one, because it's a representation you're now failing to honor. Whichever you pick, take the 20 minutes to inventory your analytics, ads pixels, email tools, and payment processors first. If you want one answer and no comparison shopping: **Termly**, paid tier, for the auto-updates.
