Privacy Policy Generator for WordPress Sites

Create a Privacy Policy for your WordPress website. Covers plugin data collection, comment systems, contact forms, WooCommerce, and hosting provider disclosures.

WordPress powers over 40% of the web, and every WordPress site collects personal data through some combination of plugins, themes, comments, and contact forms. WordPress itself has a built-in privacy policy page feature, but it only provides a skeleton template that you need to fill in with your specific practices.

The WordPress plugin ecosystem creates unique privacy challenges. Each plugin you install may collect, store, or transmit user data independently. Popular plugins like Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, Jetpack, and Akismet all have their own data practices that your privacy policy needs to address. If you run WooCommerce, you have the additional complexity of payment and order data.

Our generator asks about your specific WordPress setup, including your active plugins, theme functionality, hosting provider, and any third-party services, to produce a privacy policy that goes far beyond the default WordPress template and accurately reflects your site's data footprint.

What's Included

  • WordPress core data collection (comments, user accounts, media)
  • Plugin-specific data disclosures (Yoast, Jetpack, Akismet, etc.)
  • Contact form data handling (Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms)
  • WooCommerce order and payment data (if applicable)
  • WordPress hosting provider data processing
  • WordPress user registration and profile data
  • Media upload and metadata handling
  • Caching and CDN data disclosures (Cloudflare, Sucuri)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WordPress's built-in privacy policy page meet legal requirements?
No. WordPress provides a template with placeholder text that you must customize. It includes suggested sections from core WordPress and some plugins, but it's a starting point, not a finished document. Our generator creates a complete, ready-to-publish privacy policy based on your actual WordPress configuration.
How do WordPress plugins affect my privacy policy?
Every plugin that handles user data should be reflected in your privacy policy. For example, Akismet sends comment data to external servers for spam checking, Jetpack collects site statistics, and contact form plugins store submitted data. Our generator accounts for the most popular WordPress plugins.
What about my WordPress hosting provider?
Your hosting provider processes and stores all data on your WordPress site, including access logs with visitor IP addresses. Your privacy policy should name your hosting provider and explain that they process data as part of hosting your site. Managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta, or SiteGround may also provide caching and security services that involve additional data processing.
