If you are collecting personal information (e.g. name and email on your contact form), you are required to have a Privacy Policy. Currently, the following laws require Privacy Policies for most websites: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); UK Data Protection Act 2018; California Online Privacy and Protection Act of 2003 (CalOPPA); California Privacy Protection Act (CCPA); Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA); Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act (DOPPA); Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A. There are also about a dozen other states proposing their own privacy laws. We’ve partnered with Termageddon because we think it’s the best service to keep you protected.

Terms of Service is a great way to answer frequently asked customer questions and protect yourself from liability — covering refunds and returns, protecting your intellectual property, and protecting you if a linked third-party site causes an issue for a visitor.

You need a Disclaimer if you display advertisements, sell health products, participate in affiliate programs, or provide health, fitness, or legal-adjacent advice on your site. It helps provide required disclosures and reduces your liability.

You need an End User License Agreement if you are licensing downloadable software — it limits your liability, protects your income stream, and protects your intellectual property from reverse engineering or copying.

While technically you could write these policies yourself, we do not recommend it — there are a lot of laws, cases, and legal opinions on how to write these correctly, and they change often. We recommend Termageddon, which keeps your policies automatically up to date.

If you have a privacy attorney, that’s a great option, though it may be pricier. Many attorneys outside the privacy field use Termageddon themselves.

No — many of these laws don’t limit enforcement to large companies, and consumers don’t distinguish between small and large businesses when it comes to protecting their privacy.

Termageddon charges a yearly fee because it automatically updates your policies whenever the law changes — and several new state privacy laws have passed in just the last year.

No — doing so is copyright infringement and could get you sued, plus you won’t know whether that policy is compliant with current law or keeps itself updated.

A found-online template isn’t guaranteed accurate, compliant, or self-updating. A proven policy generator like Termageddon is safer and less time-consuming.

You’re collecting personal information if your contact form asks for name, email, or phone number, or if you collect emails for a newsletter.

No — site security isn’t related to the requirement. You need a Privacy Policy any time you collect personal information, regardless of how secure it is.

These laws protect residents of a state, not businesses located there — so if visitors from a regulated state can reach your site, you need a Privacy Policy regardless of where your business is physically located.
