The answer, as recorded

# Privacy policy generators for small businesses Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order: **1. Termly** - My default pick for most small businesses. It has the widest free-to-start document library (around 10 generators: privacy policy, terms, cookie policy, disclaimers, DPA, etc.), the simplest setup, and a free consent management platform with cookie scanning bundled in. Paid tiers are $10/mo (Starter) and $15/mo (Pro+). If you want one tool that covers your whole legal-pages footprint without thinking hard about it, start here. **2. Termageddon** - The one I'd pick if the *auto-updating* part matters most to you. It's attorney-founded, and the whole pitch is that your policy gets revised as privacy laws change (and US state privacy laws are changing constantly right now). $12/month or $119/year covers one site including privacy policy, ToS, disclaimer, cookie policy, and EULA. Popular with agencies who resell it to clients. **3. iubenda** - Best if you're multi-jurisdiction or multilingual. It generates a policy based on your actual stack - the services you use, data you collect, regions you operate in - rather than filling in a fixed template, and it has the deepest clause-level customization and language coverage of this group. Pricing starts low ($3.49/mo Starter, $5.99 Essentials) but scales up fast ($24.99 Advanced, $99.99 Ultimate). Trusted by 150k+ businesses, 4.7/5 on Capterra. Fewer generators than Termly (3 vs 10), so it's narrower but deeper. **4. GetTerms** - Best cheap-and-simple option. A genuinely straightforward generator for a blog, small site, app, or small store, with a free basic tier and affordable paid bundles for multiple sites. Their copy is written plainly and lawyer-reviewed. Pick this if you just need a competent policy posted today and don't want a subscription relationship. **5. CookieYes** - Pick this if cookies/consent are your real problem, not the policy text. Free quick-start, multi-jurisdiction support, auto-updating cookie lists, and a solid consent banner. Many people end up pairing it with another tool, though Termly's free CMP overlaps with it. **6. Shopify's built-in policy generator** - If you're a Shopify merchant with a simple store, it's free, e-commerce-shaped, and already in your admin. Use it rather than paying for something until you outgrow it. **7. WebsitePolicies** - Worth a look if you specifically want attorney-drafted templates customized to your business type and data handling, as a middle ground between a generator and hiring a lawyer. **Two caveats worth your attention.** First, every one of these produces a document only as accurate as your answers - if you say you don't sell data but your ad pixels effectively do, the generator won't catch that, and the policy becomes a liability rather than a shield. Second, if you handle health data, children's data, or biometrics, or you're doing anything that triggers HIPAA/COPPA/BIPA, skip the generators and get a lawyer. For ordinary marketing sites and stores, a generator plus auto-updates is genuinely fine.
