Get your first (and very important) legal document – Create your Privacy Policy.

Regardless of the size of your online presence, having a Privacy Policy for your website and/or app is a standard legal requirement. Most likely, the laws that apply to you will mandate having a Privacy Policy.

Your Privacy Policy plays a crucial role in informing users about how you handle their personal data.

Did you know? If you own a website or app, you are likely already processing user data. Even IP addresses are considered personal data. Additionally, if your site or app uses features like sign-up forms or third-party services such as Google Analytics, Google Fonts, Google Maps, YouTube, social media widgets, or login buttons, you are processing user data.

Follow these steps to create your Privacy Policy

Choose an existing site/project or click on “Configure.”

You will then be taken to our online compliance dashboard where you will need to select the option of ’Generate now’ to proceed.

Experience the magic of our site scanner: Click on ‘Add a service‘.

Then click on ‘Scan website and auto-detect clauses.‘ Our site scanner will analyse your site and provide a customized configuration for your privacy policy!

Next, you’ll need to add these services, and to do so, you’ll have to wait for the scanning tool to complete (you’ll receive an email with further details).

Once the scan is completed, click back on ‘Add a service,’ and you’ll notice a new section called “Perfect matches/Suggestions” at the top left of the page.

Once you have chosen the clauses please click on ‘Save and Close’ to proceed to the next step.

Legislation-specific standards: On the right side of the screen, you’ll find a section labelled “Legislation-specific standards.” Here, you can choose the cookie policy standards based on the applicable legislation.

Creating your Cookie Policy

Simply activate your Cookie Policy by clicking on “Activate cookie policy.” • Done!

Thanks to the Cookie Database, your document will display the lifetime duration for each cookie. We also recommend adding all the languages that you believe your customers will use. You can add up to 10 languages to your document with just one click by selecting “Add language.”
