Privacy Policy Template Generator
Pick the features your site uses and get a privacy policy template based on Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI). It includes standard wording for Google Analytics (anonymous traffic data via cookies, and how to opt out) and Google AdSense (third-party vendor cookies and turning off personalized ads). The text is an English version of a template written for Japanese sites, so it is not tuned for the GDPR or US state laws. If you also sell goods or services in Japan, try the Specified Commercial Transactions Act Notice Generator.

Notes
- This tool does not give legal advice. The output is a general template and is not guaranteed to fit every site. Review it before you publish.
- The text is an English version of a template written for Japanese sites (based on the APPI). It does not cover the GDPR for EU/EEA or UK visitors, or laws such as those of California.
- Sections for features you did not tick are left out. If you add a feature later, update the policy and note the revision date.
- The Google Analytics and AdSense wording follows the general explanations Google provides. URLs and policies change, so check the latest official information.
- Whether you need consent (such as a cookie banner) for analytics or ads depends on your audience and setup. This tool does not create a banner.

FAQ
Can I publish the generated privacy policy as it is?
This tool outputs a general template, not legal advice. Before you publish, check that the text matches the information your site really collects and the services it really uses. Depending on your business, consider consulting a lawyer or other professional.
What do I tick if I only use Google Analytics?
Tick "Analytics (Google Analytics)". The policy then explains anonymous traffic data collected through cookies and how to refuse it by disabling cookies or using the opt-out add-on, and a cookie section is added automatically.
What does a policy need to say when I use Google AdSense?
It should say that third-party vendors serve ads using cookies and that users can turn off personalized ads in Google Ads Settings or at aboutads.info. Ticking "Ads (Google AdSense)" adds standard wording covering these points. Check Google's official guidance for the latest requirements.
Does it cover the GDPR or US state laws?
No. The text is based on Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information, so it does not include GDPR (EU/EEA, UK) or California requirements. If your visitors are mainly overseas, you will need wording and a consent mechanism that fit those regions.
What is the difference between enacted and revised dates?
The enacted date is when you first published the policy, and the last revised date is when you last changed it. Whenever your practices change, for example when you add ads or analytics, update the policy and record the revision date.
