Today's Agent Skill: Website Privacy Policy and Disclaimer Generator
What It Does
Every website that collects visitor information — even just an email address via a contact form — legally needs a privacy policy in most US states, and several states now impose additional disclosure requirements. Writing one from scratch requires legal knowledge most small business owners don't have. An AI agent can generate a compliant privacy policy draft tailored to your specific site in minutes, ready for attorney review before posting.
How It Works
The skill accepts your business name, website type, the categories of data collected (email, cookies, payment info, analytics, etc.), and your state, then drafts a plain-language privacy policy covering data collection, use, storage, sharing, and user rights. It automatically flags additional requirements for California (CCPA), Virginia (VCDPA), and Colorado (CPA) so nothing is missed.
How to Deploy It
Trigger the skill with "generate privacy policy for" followed by your site details. Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf. Use the output as a starting draft — have a licensed attorney review it before posting on your website. Termly and Iubenda are low-cost managed alternatives that maintain auto-updating privacy policies if you prefer a hands-off solution.
