Website privacy policy (including California) – free template (US)

There is no single federal privacy law. But California requires every commercial website that collects personal information from California residents to post a privacy policy, and many states have their own privacy laws. Larger businesses may also have to give California residents extra rights under the CCPA.

Legal basis: California Online Privacy Protection Act (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 22575–22579); California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (CCPA/CPRA); Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) · Legal position: October 2026

Example (filled with sample data)

Privacy policy

Effective date: October 31, 2026

This policy explains how Lone Star Web Studio LLC ("we") collects, uses and shares personal information through www.lonestarweb.example.

Information we collect

  • identifiers and the content of messages you send us (name, email, phone)
  • commercial information such as orders, billing and shipping details
  • your email address for our newsletter

Our servers also record technical information such as IP address and browser type to keep the site secure.

How we use it

To answer your requests, provide our products and services, process payments, send messages you asked for, keep our website secure and meet legal obligations.

Who we share it with

Service providers who host our website, process payments, deliver orders or send emails for us, under contracts that limit their use of the information. We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your choices

You can ask us to review or correct the personal information you have given us by emailing [email protected]. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each email.

Do Not Track

We do not track visitors across third-party websites, so "Do Not Track" signals do not change how our site works.

Children

Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date.
