Frequently asked questions
- Does a privacy policy generator replace legal review?
- No. A privacy policy generator creates a structured policy based on your site's detected configuration — cookies, trackers, purposes, and vendors. It provides a technically accurate starting point that reflects your actual site behavior. However, the policy still needs legal review to confirm it meets jurisdiction-specific disclosure requirements, accurately describes your processing purposes and legal bases, and addresses data subject rights in compliance with applicable law.
- What should a GDPR privacy policy include?
- At minimum, a GDPR-aligned privacy policy should identify the data controller, describe what personal data you collect and why, state the legal basis for each processing purpose, list data recipients and any international transfers, specify retention periods, inform users of their rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection), explain how to exercise those rights, identify any automated decision-making, and provide contact details for the controller and supervisory authority.
- How does GDPRChecker's policy generator connect to the scanner?
- GDPRChecker detects cookies, trackers, and third-party scripts during compliance scans and populates your cookie inventory. The privacy policy generator references that inventory to ensure your policy describes the actual tools active on your site — not a generic list of possible vendors. When scan results change, the inventory flags new items for review, prompting a policy update if needed.
- Do I need both a privacy policy and a cookie policy?
- For most EU-facing websites, yes. The privacy policy is the comprehensive document covering all personal data processing. The cookie policy is the narrower disclosure specifically about cookies, trackers, and device storage. Both should be linked from your site footer and cookie banner, and both must reflect the actual current state of your site rather than a generic template.
