The question asked, verbatim: best privacy policy generators for small businesses
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Termly recommended
Termly - my default pick for a US-based small business.
- Google recommended
It covers the privacy policy plus cookie consent banner and consent management in one place, which matters because a policy alone doesn't make you compliant if you're running Google Analytics or ad pixels.
- Google Analytics recommended
It covers the privacy policy plus cookie consent banner and consent management in one place, which matters because a policy alone doesn't make you compliant if you're running Google Analytics or ad pixels.
- Mailchimp recommended
Built in Italy with GDPR as the core design assumption, strong multi-language support, and a very granular library of lawyer-drafted clauses for specific third-party services (it maps to individual tools like Mailchimp, Stripe, Hotjar).
- Stripe recommended
Built in Italy with GDPR as the core design assumption, strong multi-language support, and a very granular library of lawyer-drafted clauses for specific third-party services (it maps to individual tools like Mailchimp, Stripe, Hotjar).
- Hotjar recommended
Built in Italy with GDPR as the core design assumption, strong multi-language support, and a very granular library of lawyer-drafted clauses for specific third-party services (it maps to individual tools like Mailchimp, Stripe, Hotjar).
- Termageddon recommended
Termageddon - worth naming because the company was founded by an actual practicing privacy attorney, and one license covers all policies for one site with ongoing automatic updates.
- TermsFeed recommended
TermsFeed - best if you hate subscriptions.
- GetTerms recommended
GetTerms - simple, cheap, aimed squarely at startups and solo operators, with a lifetime option that takes compliance off your recurring expenses.
- CookieYes recommended
CookieYes or your platform's built-in generator - if you just need a reasonable baseline today and you're a brochure site with a contact form and analytics.
- Shopify recommended
CookieYes's generator is free and takes about two minutes, and Shopify/Wix/Squarespace ship free generators too.
- Wix recommended
CookieYes's generator is free and takes about two minutes, and Shopify/Wix/Squarespace ship free generators too.

The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order: **1. Termly** - my default pick for a US-based small business. It covers the privacy policy plus cookie consent banner and consent management in one place, which matters because a policy alone doesn't make you compliant if you're running Google Analytics or ad pixels. Policies are attorney-reviewed and update automatically as laws change (it tracks 28+ privacy laws, including the growing pile of US state ones - CCPA/CPRA, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut). Free tier exists; paid starts around $10/month. **2. iubenda** - the better choice if you're EU-based or have meaningful EU traffic. Built in Italy with GDPR as the core design assumption, strong multi-language support, and a very granular library of lawyer-drafted clauses for specific third-party services (it maps to individual tools like Mailchimp, Stripe, Hotjar). Starts cheap (~$6/month per site) but has no free tier, and pricing is per-site, which adds up if you run several. **3. Termageddon** - worth naming because the company was founded by an actual practicing privacy attorney, and one license covers all policies for one site with ongoing automatic updates. Less of a broad platform than Termly, more of a focused "keep my disclosures legally current" service. Good if that's the thing you're anxious about. **4. TermsFeed** - best if you hate subscriptions. You can generate without an account, pay once, and export to HTML, DOCX, plain text, or Markdown and host it yourself. Downside: a one-time document doesn't self-update when the law changes, so you're on the hook for revisiting it. **5. GetTerms** - simple, cheap, aimed squarely at startups and solo operators, with a lifetime option that takes compliance off your recurring expenses. Fewer bells and whistles than Termly. **6. CookieYes or your platform's built-in generator** - if you just need a reasonable baseline today and you're a brochure site with a contact form and analytics. CookieYes's generator is free and takes about two minutes, and Shopify/Wix/Squarespace ship free generators too. Fine as a starting point, not where I'd stop if you're taking payments or handling health, financial, or kids' data. Two honest caveats. First, nearly all the "best generator" roundups you'll find are affiliate-monetized, so treat the rankings - including the ones feeding my answer - with some skepticism; the pricing and feature details hold up better than the ordering. Second, a generator produces a document that describes what you *say* you do with data. If your actual data flows don't match it, the document is a liability rather than protection, and if you're in a regulated space or doing anything unusual with personal data, a few hundred dollars with a privacy attorney beats any of these.
