CCPA privacy policy generator (California): what it is for
Fill in your business name, contact methods and website, check the categories of personal information you collect (identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, geolocation and others), what you use them for and whether you sell or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. The generator writes the California notice with the required sections: categories and sources, purposes, disclosures, sale and sharing, retention, the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out and limit, non-discrimination, authorized agents and the update date.
If you sell or share personal information, the notice includes the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link text and Global Privacy Control language. Review the result with a privacy attorney before publishing.

Frequently asked questions
Does the CCPA apply to my business?
It applies to for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet at least one test: annual gross revenue above the adjusted threshold ($26,625,000 since January 1, 2025, based on the prior calendar year), buying, selling or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California consumers or households, or getting 50% or more of revenue from selling or sharing personal information.
What does the CCPA privacy policy need to include?
The categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months, their sources, the purposes, the categories of third parties they are disclosed to, whether you sell or share them, how long you keep them, the consumer rights and how to exercise them, and the date the policy was last updated. It must be updated at least once every 12 months.
Is this a substitute for a lawyer?
No. It is a starting template based on the CCPA text and the California regulations. Every business is different, and the rules change, so have the final text reviewed by a privacy attorney, especially if you sell or share data or process sensitive personal information.
