Pro tip

Do not write a privacy policy from a template without understanding what data you actually collect. First audit your data flows (analytics, forms, payments, cookies, third-party tools), then generate the policy to match reality. A privacy policy that does not match your actual practices is worse than no policy.

How to use this prompt

  1. Pick your AI model. Choose the tab for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. Each variant is tuned for that model.
  2. Copy the full prompt. Click Copy Full Prompt to copy the text to your clipboard.
  3. Paste into your AI tool. Open your chosen model and paste the prompt into a new chat.
  4. Replace the [placeholders]. Swap any bracketed fields for your company name, audience, product or tone.
  5. Run and refine. Review the output. If anything is off, ask the AI to tighten tone, length or format.

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as a privacy compliance specialist. Write a privacy policy that matches my actual data practices.

Business: [NAME] — [WHAT WE DO] · website [URL] · located in [COUNTRY/STATE] · users located [WHERE]
Data audit: analytics [TOOLS] · forms [WHAT DATA] · payments [PROCESSOR or none] · email marketing [TOOL or none] · cookies [TYPES or none] · third-party tools [LIST] · user accounts [YES/NO, what data] · data sharing [LIST or none]
Practices: retention [HOW LONG EACH DATA TYPE IS KEPT] · security [MEASURES ACTUALLY IN PLACE] · children [DO WE KNOWINGLY COLLECT FROM CHILDREN: YES/NO] · rights requests [HOW A USER ASKS TO SEE, CORRECT OR DELETE THEIR DATA] · privacy contact [NAME OR ROLE, EMAIL, ADDRESS]

First state which regulations apply (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, others) given my location and user base, in one short paragraph.

Then the policy: what we collect · how · why · how we use it · who we share with · cookies · retention · user rights (GDPR and CCPA sections) · children · security · changes · contact. Plain English. End with an effective date and an AI-drafted disclaimer recommending legal review.

For retention, security, children, how users exercise their rights, and contact, write only what I supplied in the practices line. Where I supplied nothing, put "TO BE CONFIRMED" in that section with the question I need to answer, and write no standard wording in its place: a policy that describes a practice we do not follow misleads our users.

Success means the policy names only the tools and data types in my audit — nothing generic added, nothing I listed omitted.

Match the tone I specified above exactly; where I gave none, write plainly and warmly, the way a good operator talks to a customer — no corporate filler, no hedging phrases.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
