FAQ

Is this legally binding?

The template covers typical web-app data handling clearly and accurately, but a lawyer's review is necessary before publishing — especially for EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), or user-facing apps.

What does it ask for?

App name, URL, data collected (emails, IP, analytics, cookies, etc.), third-party services, and retention period. The generator plugs these into standard clauses.

Does it cover GDPR?

The template has a GDPR-compliant section with data subject rights (access, deletion, portability). EU operations still need a designated data controller contact.

What about children's privacy (COPPA)?

Toggle on to add COPPA clauses. If your app might be used by anyone under 13, this is required in the US.
