GDPR Compliance Statement Generator

Enter your business details, list why you collect personal data and pick the legal basis for each purpose. The generator writes a plain-English statement covering who you are, purposes, legal bases, storage time, who receives the data, people's rights and how to complain to a data protection authority. Copy it onto your site. It is not legal advice.

Updated

A GDPR statement, sometimes called a privacy notice, tells visitors what you do with their personal data. Small sites often skip it or copy one that names services they do not use. This generator asks only what applies to you, ties every purpose to one of the six legal bases, and keeps the wording short enough that people actually read it.

The six legal bases in plain words

Every purpose needs exactly one. These are the names the European Data Protection Board uses in its guide for small businesses, with a typical website example of each.

GDPR Article 6(1) legal bases
Legal basisArticleTypical website use
Consent6(1)(a)Newsletter sign-up, marketing emails
Performance of a contract6(1)(b)Delivering an order, running a booked service
Compliance with a legal obligation6(1)(c)Keeping invoices for tax law
Vital interests6(1)(d)Rare for websites: protecting someone's life
Public interest6(1)(e)Public bodies carrying out official tasks
Legitimate interest6(1)(f)Answering an enquiry, basic fraud prevention

What the copied HTML looks like

The Copy HTML button gives you headings and paragraphs with no styling, so it takes on your site's own fonts. Here is the default example.

GDPR statement markup

Plain semantic HTML: one h2 for the page, h3 per topic, short paragraphs. Paste it into any page editor that accepts HTML.

Where to put the statement

Give it its own page, link it in the footer of every page and link it again beside any form that collects personal data. The GDPR expects people to get this information when their data is collected, so the link next to a form matters.

If you collect data on paper or by phone as well, the same text can be printed or read out.

Finding your data protection authority

Each EU country has its own authority, and the European Data Protection Board lists all of them on its members page. Name the one where you are based, or where most of your customers live, so people know where a complaint goes.

Businesses in the UK follow the UK GDPR and the Information Commissioner's Office, which has its own version of the rules and its own list of lawful bases.

How it works

  1. Fill in your business name, address and a contact email for privacy questions.
  2. Add a data protection officer contact only if you have appointed one.
  3. List each reason you collect data, such as answering contact form messages or sending orders, and choose its legal basis.
  4. Say how long you keep the data, who receives it and whether it leaves the EU.
  5. Copy the statement as text or HTML and place it on a page linked from your footer.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Is a GDPR statement the same as a privacy policy?

They overlap. The GDPR's word is information or a notice; many sites call that page a privacy policy. What matters is that it gives the items listed in Articles 13 and 14 in clear, plain language, wherever it sits on your site.

How fast must I answer a request from someone using their rights?

The European Data Protection Board's guide for small businesses says to answer a data subject request within one month. For complex requests the deadline can be extended by two further months, and you must tell the person about the extension within the first month.

Which legal basis should I pick?

There are six: consent, performance of a contract, a legal obligation, vital interests, a public interest task, and legitimate interest. A shop fulfilling an order usually relies on contract; a newsletter usually relies on consent. If you are unsure, ask your national data protection authority or an adviser.

Does this make my business GDPR compliant?

No single page does that. The statement describes what you do; compliance also depends on actually doing it, keeping data secure and answering requests. Treat this as a starting draft, not legal advice.

Is anything I type sent to you?

No. The statement is assembled in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored by this page.
