A privacy policy explains what personal data you collect, how you use it, and what rights your visitors have over it. It's a legal requirement in most jurisdictions if your site collects any information — including something as simple as an email address through a contact form.
Most privacy policies cover: what personal data you collect, how you use it, whether you share it with third parties, how visitors can request its removal, and how to contact you with questions. If you use email marketing, a CRM, analytics tools, or payment processors, those typically need to be disclosed as well.
These tools generate a basic privacy policy based on your answers to a short questionnaire. Good for getting started quickly, especially for service-based businesses with straightforward data practices.
