GDPR Privacy Policy Generator
A privacy policy that walks through GDPR Articles 13 and 14 disclosure-by-disclosure — not just a "we mention GDPR" template.
- Walks GDPR Art. 13 and 14 disclosure-by-disclosure
- Art. 6 lawful basis per processing purpose
- Post-Schrems-II transfer mechanism named (SCCs, adequacy, etc.)
GDPR is the most-cited privacy regulation but the most-misunderstood in templates. A "GDPR-compliant" template that says "we comply with GDPR" satisfies none of Article 13's 12 specific disclosure requirements, names no lawful basis under Article 6, and omits the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (which the EDPB has flagged as the most-missed disclosure in enforcement). This page generates a privacy policy that walks GDPR's disclosure list item by item, names a lawful basis per processing purpose, and addresses the post-Schrems-II transfer-mechanism question concretely instead of hiding behind "appropriate safeguards".
Disclosures grounded in the actual statutory text.
Article 13 — when data is collected from the subject
Identity + contact of controller, contact of DPO if appointed, purposes of processing, legal basis under Art. 6, recipients or categories, international transfer safeguards, retention periods, data-subject rights, right to lodge complaint, whether providing the data is statutory / contractual.
Article 14 — when data is not collected from the subject
Same checklist as Art. 13 plus the categories of data concerned and the source. Applies when you obtain data about users from third parties (analytics resellers, data brokers, ad networks).
Article 6 — lawful basis per purpose
For each processing purpose, name one of: consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, legitimate interests. Generic "we have a lawful basis" fails — the basis has to be per purpose, and legitimate interest claims need a description of the specific interest.
Data-subject rights — all eight
Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority. The list is non-negotiable; missing any of them is a critical compliance finding.
International transfer safeguards (Art. 46)
Name the specific safeguard: Standard Contractual Clauses (2021 modules), adequacy decision, Binding Corporate Rules, or an Art. 49 derogation. "Adequate protection" without naming the mechanism is a real gap post-Schrems II.
EU representative (Art. 27)
Non-EU controllers serving EU users have to appoint an EU representative and name them in the policy. Often skipped in templates from US-founded vendors.
Where GDPR templates usually go wrong.
"We comply with GDPR" without the disclosures
A blanket statement of compliance with no Article 13 walk-through. The EDPB does not treat this as compliance; it treats it as marketing copy.
Missing right to lodge a complaint
Article 13(2)(d) — the most-missed disclosure in our audits. Required by GDPR; consistently omitted in template-generated policies.
Lawful basis stated generically
"We process data based on legitimate interest" without describing the specific interest. EDPB Guidelines require the description.
