Legal Policy Generation Backed by Attorneys, Not Just Templates

Legal Policy Generation Backed by Attorneys, Not Just Templates

Writing a genuinely compliant privacy policy from scratch typically means either hiring an attorney at considerable cost or copying a generic template that may not actually reflect applicable law for a specific business. Termly was built to bridge that gap, combining a guided generator with actual attorney oversight behind its underlying legal content.

Built by privacy attorneys, engineers, and designers together

Termly's generator isn't purely a software template — it's developed with direct involvement from privacy attorneys, giving the underlying legal content genuine professional grounding rather than relying solely on generic, unreviewed boilerplate language.

Coverage spanning more than 30 data privacy laws

Rather than addressing just one or two major regulations, Termly's generator covers over 30 data privacy laws — including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA (Canada), LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), and Australia's Privacy Act — relevant for any business with visitors or customers across multiple jurisdictions.

A genuinely guided questionnaire approach

Rather than requiring legal expertise to navigate, policies are generated by answering straightforward questions about a specific business and how it handles personal information — a process most users can complete in roughly ten minutes without needing to understand legal terminology themselves.

Automatic updates as laws genuinely change

Termly actively monitors new and changing privacy legislation, updating its generator to reflect current requirements — meaning a policy created today continues to stay accurate as regulations evolve, rather than becoming outdated the moment new laws take effect.

Beyond privacy policies: a genuinely broad document suite

Termly's generators extend well beyond privacy policies alone, covering cookie policies, terms and conditions, disclaimers, return policies, shipping policies, end-user license agreements, and acceptable use policies — letting businesses handle multiple legal document needs through one consistent platform.

A built-in consent management platform

Beyond document generation, Termly includes cookie consent banner functionality and broader consent management features — addressing the practical implementation side of compliance, not just the written policy document itself.

Dashboard-based management for ongoing changes

Policies are managed through a central dashboard, letting businesses update specific details as their data practices change — with Termly-hosted policies automatically reflecting those changes once republished, rather than requiring manual re-editing of a static document each time.

A genuine free tier before any payment

Termly offers free policy generation with GDPR compliance coverage and quarterly site scanning — letting smaller businesses or those just starting out access genuine compliance tools before committing to a paid plan for more advanced features.

At a glance

Who it suits

Termly suits small businesses, agencies, and SaaS providers wanting legally grounded privacy policies and related documents without hiring a dedicated attorney or legal retainer. This tool provides general compliance assistance rather than personalised legal advice — anyone with particularly complex business needs, unusual data practices, or significant legal risk exposure should still consult a qualified attorney to confirm their specific compliance obligations.
