Privacy Policy FAQ
Common questions about privacy policy and legal compliance.
Yes! The base privacy policy is 100% free and includes all essential sections like personal information collection, cookie usage, contact information, and device permissions. You only pay for premium compliance add-ons (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) if you need them. No credit card required to generate the free policy.
Yes, in most cases. The EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), and many other regions legally require privacy policies for any business collecting personal data (even basic analytics). Additionally, Apple App Store and Google Play Store mandate privacy policies for all apps. If you collect any user data (emails, names, cookies, location) you need a privacy policy.
GDPR applies to EU/EEA residents and has stricter requirements around consent and data processing. CCPA applies to California residents and focuses on transparency and user rights to access/delete data. The key difference: GDPR requires opt-in consent before collecting data, while CCPA requires opt-out options after data collection. If you have users in both regions, you need both compliance frameworks.
Yes, if you have ANY users from the EU/EEA. GDPR applies based on where your users are located, not where your business is located. Even a single EU visitor triggers GDPR requirements. This applies to websites, apps, e-commerce stores, and SaaS platforms. Use analytics to check if you have EU traffic.
