Why both stores ask for one
App Store Connect lists a Privacy Policy URL as a required property, and Apple wants the link inside the app as well. Google Play requires it in the Play Console and reachable from within the app, at a public, non-geofenced, non-editable URL — explicitly not a PDF. Neither store will publish without it, and an app that collects nothing at all still needs one.
What the stores require it to say
Most generators produce a generic web-site policy. The two stores are more specific than that, and reviewers do read it:
- Apple: identify the data collected, how, and all uses of it; confirm that any third party it is shared with — analytics, ad networks, SDKs, group companies — provides the same or equal protection; and explain retention and deletion plus how a user withdraws consent.
- Apple, since accounts became a review issue: an app that lets people create an account must let them delete it inside the app.
- Apple, on AI: sharing personal data with third parties, “including with third-party AI”, has to be disclosed and explicitly permitted.
- Google Play: name the developer and a privacy point of contact, list the data types and the parties they are shared with, describe secure handling, and state a retention and deletion policy. The policy must name your app or the entity on your store listing.
- Google Play, on accounts: an in-app deletion path and a web link to request deletion — and the data must actually be deleted, not the account frozen.
- FTC: the COPPA Rule was amended on 22 April 2025, which tightens notice, parental review and retention for anything aimed at children.
The generator writes each of those clauses, and changes them with your answers rather than including everything unconditionally — a policy claiming an account deletion flow you do not have is worse than one that does not mention it.
If you collect nothing
Tick nothing under collection and the policy says so outright: no account, no profile, no cross-app tracking. That is a stronger position than a hedged policy, plenty of small apps qualify for it, and both stores still require the document.
Getting it to a permanent URL
You can paste the output into any page you control. If you would rather not run one — and if you also still need terms of service, which the stores expect for anything with accounts or purchases — Edok Studio writes both documents with AI from one short brief and hosts each at a permanent public URL, on the free plan.
Need the URL, and the terms of service too?
This tool gives you the document. Edok Studio gives you the link the stores ask for: it writes both your privacy policy and your terms of service with AI from one short brief, and publishes each at a permanent public HTTPS URL you can paste straight into App Store Connect and Play Console. Edit and re-publish whenever the app changes — the URL stays the same. Included on the free plan; your own domain on the top plan.
