If you run a business online—whether it’s a service, product, course, or community—there’s one thing you can’t ignore:
Your privacy policy.
I know... it’s not the sexiest part of running a business. But it matters more than ever.
📌 If you collect emails
📌 If you use Google Analytics
📌 If you embed YouTube videos or run a Stripe checkout
Then congrats—you’re handling user data.
And you need to tell people what you collect, how you use it, and how they can opt out.
The good news?
You don’t have to write this from scratch.
Today, I’ll show you how to use AI to create a clear, customized privacy policy in less than an hour—tailored to your website, your tools, and your audience.
Why privacy matters (especially for small businesses)
Privacy laws are tightening.
Users are more aware—and more skeptical—than ever.
And platforms like Meta, Google, and Shopify are cracking down on compliance.
But here’s the part people miss:
💡 Trust is the currency of small and early-stage businesses.
If you’re just getting started…
If you're building your list from scratch…
If your audience doesn’t know you yet...
A solid privacy policy tells them:
You’re a pro. You’ve got their back.
It’s one of the simplest ways to stand out and build credibility—especially when you don’t yet have years of brand equity behind you.
