Privacy Policy Generator, DPDP-Compliant Policies in 3 Minutes, Not 3 Weeks
AI generates your Privacy Notice, Cookie Policy, Data Retention Policy, and Terms of Service, all aligned to Section 5 DPDP Act and Rules 2025. Answer 12 questions about your data practices. Get four fully compliant, industry-specific documents. No lawyers required for the first draft.
Section 5, 6, and 9. The Three Privacy Obligations Every Policy Must Address
A copy-pasted generic privacy policy will not satisfy the DPDP Act. The specific obligations are precise, and the DPA will scrutinize them.
Section 5. Notice Requirements
The DPDP Act requires Data Fiduciaries to provide a notice before or at the time of collecting personal data. The notice must be in clear, plain language (Rule 3 format) and must describe the data collected, the processing purpose, the data principal's rights (Sections 11-14), and how to file a DPA complaint. A notice written in dense legal language, or one that omits the DPA complaint pathway, is non-compliant regardless of how comprehensive it otherwise appears.
Section 6. Consent Conditions
Consent under the DPDP Act must be free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous. Your privacy policy is the document that makes consent "informed", it must clearly describe every purpose for which consent is sought. Section 6(4) further requires that consent be as easy to withdraw as it is to give. Policies that bundle multiple unrelated purposes into one consent, or that don't explain withdrawal, violate Section 6's conditions for valid consent.
Section 9. Children's Data Notice
When processing children's personal data (under 18), the DPDP Act requires a separate, heightened disclosure framework. The notice must be in language a child can understand. Verifiable parental consent is required (Rule 10). Behavioral tracking and targeted advertising toward children is prohibited regardless of parental consent. Your privacy policy must have a dedicated children's data section if your product can be accessed by minors, a single generic clause is insufficient.
Four Documents. Thirteen Industries. One Generator.
Privacy Notice Generator (Section 5 Compliant)
Generates the legally required Section 5 notice in Rule 3's prescribed format, plain language, purpose-specific, including data principal rights and DPA complaint pathway. Produces both a short-form notice (for onboarding flows) and a long-form privacy policy (for your website footer). Both documents are generated simultaneously and link to each other correctly for multi-layered transparency.
Cookie Policy Generator
Generates a detailed cookie policy listing all cookie categories (essential, functional, analytics, advertising), their specific purposes, storage duration, and third-party providers. Includes the DPDP-aligned consent mechanism description and instructions for managing cookie preferences. Automatically flags which cookies require explicit consent versus which may be set under legitimate interest, a distinction that is frequently misapplied.
Data Retention Policy Generator
Generates a data retention schedule aligned to DPDP's purpose limitation requirement (Section 8), personal data must not be retained beyond the period necessary for the processing purpose. The generator maps your data categories to standard retention periods, accounts for conflicting statutory retention obligations (Income Tax Act, PMLA, IT Act), and generates a document specifying retention periods and deletion procedures for each data category.
13-Sector Industry Customization
Generic policies miss sector-specific requirements. A HealthTech app must describe sensitive health data processing. A FinTech must address PMLA KYC data retention. An EdTech platform must address children's data and parental consent. The generator selects appropriate clauses, adds sector-specific language, and inserts the correct regulatory references for your industry, not a one-size document with blanks to fill.
Version Control and Policy History
Every version of every generated policy is stored with a timestamp and change summary. Side-by-side version comparison shows exactly what changed between v1 and v2. The audit trail documents when each version was published, who approved it, and what regulatory change triggered the update. This version history is essential for demonstrating compliance continuity to auditors and the DPA.
Existing Policy Gap Analyzer
Upload your current privacy policy and the analyzer compares it against the DPDP Act Section 5 requirements, Section 6 consent conditions, and Rules 2025 format requirements. It identifies missing clauses, non-compliant language, and outdated provisions, with specific recommendations for each gap. Ideal for companies that have an existing policy that predates the DPDP Act and need to upgrade it.
12 Questions. 4 Documents. 3 Minutes.
The generator works by understanding your specific data practices, not by filling in blanks in a template. The output is a document that actually describes what your organization does.
Step 1. Select your industry and configure your profile
Choose from 13 industry sectors. Set your company type (startup, enterprise, government), whether you process children's data, whether you conduct cross-border transfers, and whether you are a Data Processor as well as a Data Fiduciary. This configuration determines which clauses are included, which are mandatory, and which penalty-tier warnings are inserted into the policy.
Step 2. Answer 12 questions about your actual data practices
Describe what personal data you collect (name, email, Aadhaar, PAN, health, financial, biometric), the specific purposes of processing (order fulfillment, marketing, analytics, legal compliance), who you share data with (vendors, subsidiaries, government), and your data storage location (India, offshore). These inputs drive the specific language generated, not boilerplate.
Step 3. AI generates four compliant documents simultaneously
Within 60–90 seconds, Claude AI generates your Privacy Notice (short-form), Privacy Policy (long-form), Cookie Policy, and Data Retention Schedule. Each document cites the relevant DPDP Act sections it addresses. Sensitive data categories get explicitly named; processing purposes are stated individually; the DPA complaint pathway is included as required by Section 5.
Step 4. Review, edit, and publish or export
Edit any section in the rich text editor. Add custom clauses for unique business practices. Preview the final document in publication format. Publish directly to a hosted URL you can link from your website, export as HTML for self-hosting, or download as PDF. The generator records the publication timestamp and policy version for compliance evidence.
Step 5. Get alerted when DPDP changes require a policy update
When DPDP Rules are amended or DPA guidance is issued that affects privacy notice requirements, dcomply sends you an alert with a specific list of sections in your policy that need updating. Re-run the generator with updated inputs to produce a revised policy. Version 2 is created automatically; your original policy is retained for audit trail purposes.

Policies That Connect to Your Entire Compliance Program
Connected to Consent Management
The Privacy Notice generated by the Policy Generator feeds directly into dcomply's Consent Management module, the consent notice text, purpose descriptions, and withdrawal mechanism are auto-populated in your consent banners and onboarding flows. Changes to the policy propagate to consent records, ensuring your privacy notice and actual consent collection always match, a requirement the DPA will verify during audits.
Embed API & Hosted Policy URLs
Generated policies are available via a hosted URL (e.g., privacy.yourcompany.com) that you can link from your app, website footer, and consent notices. Updates to the policy are reflected immediately at the same URL, no need to update links. The hosted page is SEO-indexed, supports canonical tags, and is available in JSON-LD structured data format for privacy policy schema markup.
Data Handling and Confidentiality
Your answers to the 12 configuration questions, which describe your data practices, are stored encrypted and used only to generate your documents. dcomply does not use your policy inputs to train AI models. Policy documents are stored for 5 years to support audit evidence requirements. Generated documents are your intellectual property. Enterprise plans include on-premise export options for air-gapped environments.
