Do I need a privacy policy for my app?

Yes — both the App Store and Google Play require a public privacy policy URL even if your app collects zero personal data. The link must be live and reachable before you submit. Beyond store policies, GDPR (EU/UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), and COPPA (apps for under-13s) all legally require a privacy policy.

Is an AI-generated privacy policy legally valid?

This generator is for illustrative purposes only and is not legal advice. It produces a structured starter draft that describes common data practices and satisfies App Store / Play Store submission requirements as a starting point. You should always have a lawyer review your final privacy policy before publishing, especially if your app is in a regulated industry (health, finance, kids) or you have enterprise customers.

How is this different from a privacy policy template?

A static template uses the same boilerplate for every app. This generator produces an illustrative starter policy specifically for your data collection, third-party SDKs (Firebase, RevenueCat, Sentry, PostHog, etc.), audience, and region — drawing inspiration from well-written real-world policies like Suno, Uber, Revolut, and Cal AI — so it actually matches what your app does. It is for illustrative purposes only and not legal advice.

Does this support GDPR and CCPA?

Yes. The generator includes the relevant disclosures and user rights for the region(s) you select: GDPR (right to access, erasure, portability, withdraw consent, supervisory authority complaint) for EU/UK and CCPA/CPRA (right to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale/sharing) for California. Selecting "Global" includes both.

Where do I host my privacy policy?

Anywhere with a public URL works. Common options: a /privacy page on your marketing site, a public Notion page, a GitHub Pages repo, or a free Vercel deployment. Both stores ask for the URL during submission and crawl it periodically.

Why it matters

Every app needs a privacy policy — even if you collect zero data.

Both stores and most major privacy regulations require a public, working policy URL before you can ship.

App Store

Required for submission

Apple's Guideline 5.1.1 requires a working privacy policy URL on the App Store Connect page AND inside the app. Submissions without one are auto-rejected before review even starts.

Google Play

Required + Data Safety form

Google requires a privacy policy URL plus a separate Data Safety questionnaire. Both must be consistent — Google's automated systems compare them and reject mismatches.

GDPR (EU/UK)

Legal requirement

If anyone in the EU or UK can use your app, you need a privacy policy that lists your lawful basis, data subject rights, and contact info — even for a side project.

CCPA (California)

Legal requirement

California residents have the right to know what's collected, delete it, and opt out of any sale or sharing. Your privacy policy must explain how — and update annually.

How it works

We send your selections to Google Gemini with a structured legal prompt. The model produces a tailored policy you can copy, edit, and host in minutes.

Apple App Store

Apple requires the same privacy responses from any third-party SDK you embed. Privacy Manifests (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) are now required for many SDKs.

Android Developers

Google Play

Play compares your Data Safety form to your privacy policy automatically. Mismatches block releases.
