FAQs

What is a privacy policy?

A privacy policy is a legal document that discloses some or all of the ways a business gathers, uses, discloses, and manages a customer's data. Its purpose is to inform website visitors exactly which personal information is gathered by your site or mobile app, how it is used, and how it is protected.

How much does it cost to generate a privacy policy?

The policy generator is a free tool Shopify offers to businesses. That means there is no cost to use it. We currently offer the following policy generators:

Why is a privacy policy important for my business?

If you collect personal information from your website visitors, you are required by law to have a privacy policy posted to your website (and your mobile app, if you have one). If a dispute arises about the way your business used someone’s information, a privacy policy may provide some liability insurance.

Aside from the legal requirements, a privacy policy can be an important part of fostering trust and transparency between you and your customers.
