Do You Need a Privacy Policy for a Small Website?

If you collect emails, use analytics, or show ads, you almost always need a privacy policy. AdSense and many app stores require one.

A generator cannot replace a lawyer, but a clear template covering data collected, cookies, third parties, and contact info is a solid starting point.

Use FreeTools Privacy Policy Generator, customize the output, and have counsel review it if you handle sensitive data or operate in regulated industries.

Publish the policy at a stable URL and link it from your footer before applying to ad networks.
