Document-Specific Questions

How often should I update my privacy policy?

We recommend reviewing your privacy policy at least annually and updating it whenever you make significant changes to your data collection practices, add new services, or when relevant laws change.

Do I need different policies for different countries?

It depends on your business and where your users are located. Our tools can generate policies that comply with multiple jurisdictions, but you may need separate policies if you have significantly different practices in different regions.

What's the difference between a privacy policy and a cookie policy?

A privacy policy covers all aspects of data collection and processing, while a cookie policy specifically focuses on the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies. Some businesses combine these into one document, while others keep them separate.

Do I need a terms of service if I have a privacy policy?

Yes, these serve different purposes. A privacy policy explains how you handle user data, while terms of service outline the rules and conditions for using your website or service. Most websites need both.

Business Questions

Can I use these tools for multiple websites?

Yes! You can generate separate documents for each of your websites or businesses. Each document can be customized for the specific practices of that particular site or business.

Are these tools suitable for large enterprises?

Our tools provide excellent starting points for businesses of all sizes. However, large enterprises with complex data processing practices may benefit from additional legal consultation to ensure all specific requirements are addressed.

Can I white-label or resell these documents?

The generated documents can be used freely, but you cannot resell our tools themselves or claim ownership of our platform. If you're interested in partnership opportunities, please contact us.
