Privacy Policy Generator

Privacy Policy Generator scans your mobile apps or web projects, detects privacy-related capabilities, and produces policies that satisfy GDPR, CCPA, Google Play, Apple App Store, and other mainstream requirements.

The product currently offers two services:

  • Free AI Scan: AI inspects your codebase, identifies permissions, SDKs, data collection points, and outputs a risk report.
  • Privacy Policy (USD 20 per document): Builds on the scan, generating a compliant privacy policy that you can download in Markdown or HTML.

✨ Key Capabilities

  1. AI Risk Scan

    • Automatically detects permissions, third-party SDKs, and data flows across Android, iOS, Flutter, React Native, and web projects.
    • Reports are organized by GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, Google Play, and App Store checklists so product and legal teams can review faster.
  2. Policy Generation

    • Fill out app information inside the VS Code extension or landing page; the AI combines it with scan results to craft a tailored policy.
    • Supports Chinese and English output with instant Markdown/HTML downloads for your site or store listing.

📑 What the Generated Policy Covers

  1. Scope and types of data collected (permissions, SDK data, logs, etc.)
  2. How data is used and shared
  3. Third-party services list and their purposes
  4. Security controls, retention periods, and cross-border transfers
  5. User rights (access, correction, deletion, withdrawal, etc.)
  6. Children’s privacy and statutory obligations
  7. Contact information and change notifications

Every document is aligned with GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, Google Play, and Apple App Store compliance expectations.

  • What if payment finishes but no policy is generated?
    If nothing shows up within five minutes, retry from the dashboard or reach out via the “Contact Us” link on the website footer.
