The answer, as recorded

# Privacy policy generators for small businesses Here's who I'd actually point you to, in order: **1. Termageddon - best overall for a typical US small business.** ~$12/month or $119/year for one website. What sets it apart: policies auto-update as laws change (and US state privacy laws are changing constantly right now), it was built by a privacy attorney, and one license covers Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Disclaimer, Cookie Policy, and EULA plus a consent banner for up to 50k sessions/month. The questionnaire asks about your actual data practices rather than just your business name, so you get a document that reflects reality. **2. Termly - best if you want the widest document library and the easiest setup.** Starter around $10/month, Pro+ around $15/month, with a usable free tier. Ten generators including Impressum, Return/Refund, Shipping, and Accessibility Statement - handy if you're ecommerce. Caveat: the lower tiers have edit caps and are template-only, so you can get nudged upward as you grow. **3. iubenda - best if you operate across borders.** €4.99 to €79.99/month with a free tier. Strongest on multilingual policies (genuinely important if you sell into the EU) and clause-level customization, since it builds from the specific services and trackers you actually use. Fewer document types than Termly - Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Terms & Conditions. **4. CookieYes - best if cookie consent is your real problem.** Strong on multi-jurisdiction consent handling; the policy generator is more of a companion to the banner than the main event. Pick this if you came here because of a cookie-banner warning. **5. GetTerms - best for simple, low-risk sites on a budget.** Genuinely cheap, very fast, and there's a free tier that produces a basic privacy policy. Right for a blog, portfolio, or brochure site. Not what I'd use if you handle health data, payments, or children's data. **6. Shopify's free generator - if you're on Shopify, just use it.** Free, reviewed by their legal team, covers privacy, refund, and terms. No reason to pay for a separate tool until your data practices get complicated. One honest caveat: all of these are templates driven by a questionnaire. They're a real improvement over copying a competitor's policy, but if you're in healthcare, fintech, anything touching kids under 13, or you're doing meaningful data sharing with ad networks, the $500-1,500 for a lawyer to review the generated output is money well spent - several state laws now carry private rights of action.
