2. What data we collect

Generator form data

When you use the policy generator, we collect the information you enter: your website name, URL, business type, contact email address, and answers to questions about your data practices. This is used solely to generate your privacy policy and is stored in our database linked to your policy ID.

Email address (optional)

If you opt in to receive notifications about regulatory changes (GDPR, CCPA), we store your email address. This is entirely voluntary. We will only ever send you relevant policy update notifications — no marketing, no newsletters.

Payment data (paid plans)

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card details. After a successful payment, Stripe provides us with your email address so we can send you your policy link.

Browser local storage (free plan)

For free users, we store your policy ID in your browser's local storage so you can return to your policy. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us.

3. How we use your data

• —To generate your privacy policy using Claude (Anthropic's AI)
• —To store your generated policy and make it accessible via its unique URL
• —To send you your policy link after a paid purchase
• —To notify you of GDPR/CCPA changes that may affect your policy (opt-in only)
• —To process payments and prevent fraud

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.

5. Cookies and tracking

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or analytics tools. The only browser storage we use is local storage on your device (free plan) to remember your policy ID. We do not track your behavior across websites.
