Generate GDPR + CCPA Privacy Policies in 10 Minutes
River's Privacy Policy Generator creates comprehensive, legally compliant policies for websites, apps, and SaaS products. Privacy policies are legally required in all 50 US states, the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), and most other jurisdictions. Our AI generates complete policies covering all 11 required sections: data collection, use purposes, sharing practices, cookies, user rights, data security, international transfers, children's privacy, retention, updates, and contact information.
Unlike generic templates with placeholder text, we customize policies to your actual data practices. The AI asks about your specific data collection, use, sharing, and user locations. It generates jurisdiction-specific rights disclosures (GDPR portability, CCPA opt-out), accurate descriptions of your cookies and third-party tools, and appropriate legal bases for processing. You get policies that accurately describe what you actually do.
Perfect for startups launching products, developers building apps, SaaS companies handling user data, and e-commerce sites. Whether adding a privacy policy to your first landing page or updating after adding new analytics tools, this creates the comprehensive foundation you need. Always have a qualified attorney review before publishing.
What Privacy Policies Must Include
Privacy policies are legally required almost everywhere. GDPR (EU) requires policies for any business collecting data from EU residents with penalties up to 20 million euros or 4% of global revenue. CCPA/CPRA (California) requires policies with fines of $2,500-$7,500 per violation. 19 other US states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws as of 2026. Major platforms require privacy policies for all apps.
The 11 essential sections are: (1) What data you collect, (2) How you use collected data, (3) Who you share data with, (4) Cookies and tracking technologies, (5) User rights under GDPR, (6) User rights under CCPA, (7) Data security measures, (8) International data transfers, (9) Children's privacy, (10) Data retention periods, (11) Policy updates and contact information.
The biggest privacy policy mistake is policies that don't match actual practices. If your policy says you don't sell data but you share data with advertising partners, that's a violation. Document your actual practices before generating policies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legally compliant for my jurisdiction?
This generates comprehensive policies addressing GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and general US privacy requirements. However, privacy law varies by jurisdiction and industry. Healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (GLBA), and education (FERPA) have additional requirements. You MUST have a qualified attorney review before publishing.
Do I need separate policies for GDPR and CCPA?
Most companies use one comprehensive policy covering all jurisdictions with jurisdiction-specific sections. We generate unified policies that include GDPR-specific rights for EU users and CCPA-specific rights for California users within the same document. This is simpler to maintain and ensures consistency.
What if my data practices change?
Update your privacy policy immediately when practices change materially. If you add new data collection, new tracking tools, new third-party sharing, or expand to new jurisdictions, update the policy. Both GDPR and CCPA require accurate, current policies.
Where should I display my privacy policy?
Privacy policies must be easily accessible. Required locations: website footer on every page, signup/registration forms before users submit data, mobile app settings, checkout pages, and cookie consent banners. GDPR requires providing policies before data collection.
Do I need a cookie consent banner?
Yes, in most cases. GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies before they're placed. CCPA requires disclosure and opt-out for cookies that 'sell' or 'share' data. Your privacy policy should describe cookies you use; a cookie banner gets consent and links to that section.
