Privacy Policy Generator.
Fill in your business name, website, contact email, and what data you collect. We generate a DPDP-aware privacy policy you can paste into your site today.
This is a starting template. Have a lawyer review the final version before publishing. Not legal advice.
Every Indian website that collects any personal information from visitors needs a privacy policy. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP) makes this clear for businesses operating in India. Without a policy, you cannot reliably accept signups, run a contact form, send a newsletter, or process payments. A missing policy is also a quiet trust signal: customers who land on a checkout page or contact form and notice no link to a policy quietly close the tab.
This tool generates a starting template policy in your browser. You fill in your business name, website, contact email, and tick off the categories of data you collect. The output is a clean HTML policy that covers what data you collect, why, how you share it, how long you keep it, your visitor rights under DPDP, and how to contact you. Copy the HTML into your website Privacy Policy page, or download as plain text for a lawyer to review.
How to use the privacy policy generator
Type your business legal name exactly as registered (Pvt Ltd, LLP, sole proprietor, etc).
Add your website URL with https://. This is the URL the policy will refer to throughout.
Set the contact email for privacy questions. A dedicated privacy@ alias is best, but a regular contact email works too.
Pick the country focus: India only for an India-focused business, India plus global if you have EU or UK visitors too.
Tick the boxes for the categories of personal data you actually collect. Be honest. Saying you collect less than you do creates legal risk later.
Click Generate policy. The policy renders below. Read through it once.
Copy the HTML into a new Privacy Policy page on your website (most CMSes have a Privacy Policy page template), or download as text and email to a lawyer for review.
Why this matters for your business
Three reasons a privacy policy belongs on your site from day one, even if you are a one-person business.
It is required by law. The DPDP Act 2023 applies to any business that processes the personal data of Indian residents, no matter how small the business. The Act requires fair processing, informed consent, and a clear notice to data principals. A privacy policy is the standard way to satisfy the notice requirement.
It builds customer trust. A visible privacy policy linked in the footer of your site signals professionalism. Customers who care about their data look for it before they sign up or pay. A missing policy quietly costs you signups you will never see.
It protects you in a dispute. When a customer asks about how you used their data, the privacy policy is your written reference. It limits what they can claim you did and did not say. A clear, dated, version-controlled policy is one of the cheapest forms of legal protection a small business can buy.
Tips for better results
- Link the policy in your site footer on every page. Customers expect to find it there.
- Link it from your contact form, your checkout page, your newsletter signup, anywhere you collect data.
- Update the last-updated date every time you make any change.
- Keep old versions in case a customer queries an action you took under the older policy.
- If you use Google Analytics or any third-party tracker, mention it by name in the cookies section.
- If you sell to children, you need a stricter parental consent flow than this template covers. Consult a lawyer.
- For e-commerce, link the privacy policy from your refund policy and terms too.
Example
A real-world walkthrough
A clinic in Hyderabad ticks all the checkboxes except payment (they take payment offline) and adds contact email privacy@aaditiclinic.in. The generator returns an 800-word policy covering name, email, phone, address, and cookies, with DPDP rights, retention, security, children safeguards, and a contact block. The clinic owner pastes it into the Privacy Policy page on her Neweb website, links it from the footer, and from her appointment booking form. Total time: under five minutes. Total cost: zero. The policy holds up to a customer enquiry and a lawyer review six months later.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a starting template. Privacy laws are nuanced and a lawyer should review the final version before you publish, especially if you handle health data, financial data, or data of children. We are not a law firm.
Does this cover DPDP?
Yes, at a starting-template level. The policy includes a section on visitor rights under DPDP including access, correction, withdrawal, and nomination. For exhaustive DPDP compliance, especially for data fiduciaries with large processing scale, more detailed measures are required.
Does this cover GDPR?
Partially, if you pick the India + global option. It mentions GDPR rights and complaint mechanisms. For full GDPR compliance, especially if you target EU customers actively, you should consult an EU privacy lawyer.
Where do I publish the policy?
Create a Privacy Policy page on your website at /privacy or /privacy-policy. Paste the HTML. Link it in your footer on every page of your site. Most CMSes including Neweb have a Privacy Policy template.
Do I need a cookie banner?
If you do business with EU or UK visitors, yes, for non-essential cookies. For an India-only business, you currently do not need a banner under DPDP unless you set non-essential cookies. Best practice is to add a banner anyway as it normalises the consent flow for future regulation.
How often should I update it?
Whenever your data practices change. New analytics tool, new payment processor, new third-party integration, new category of data collected, all trigger a review. Most small businesses review at least once a year.
Is my generated policy stored anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. We never see the inputs or the output.
What if I do not handle personal data?
Almost every website handles some personal data, at minimum IP addresses and browser cookies. You still need a basic policy that acknowledges this and explains your minimal data approach. Use the template with mostly empty checkboxes.
