I built a free Privacy Policy generator — here's why and how

Every time I tried to get a Privacy Policy for a project, I ran into the same problem.
Free generators gave me walls of placeholder text like [YOUR COMPANY NAME] and [INSERT DATE HERE] that I had to manually fill in one by one. Paid ones charged $50-100 for something that should be simple. And lawyers? Don't even get started.
I just wanted something that asked me a few questions about my project and wrote the whole thing for me — personalized, professional, ready to publish. That didn't exist for free. So I built it.
What is LegalyJet?
LegalyJet is a free legal document generator for websites and apps. You answer a few questions about your business and it generates a fully personalized document in seconds — using your actual business name, URL, country and data practices throughout. No blank placeholders, no watermarks, no account needed.
Currently supports:
Privacy Policy — GDPR, CCPA and CalOPPA compliant
Terms & Conditions — covers payments, arbitration, liability
Cookie Policy — ePrivacy and GDPR compliant
How I built it
Pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript — zero dependencies, no frameworks, no build step. Hosted on Vercel with a custom domain. The whole thing is a static site which means it's fast, free to host and dead simple to maintain.
The document generator itself is just a multi step form that collects your business details and builds the document on the frontend using JavaScript template literals. No backend, no database, nothing stored.
What's next
More document types — EULA, NDA coming soon
More blog posts covering legal topics for devs and founders
Multi language support
