# Privacy Policy Generator — MCP tool `findutils:privacy_policy_generator`

Generate a privacy policy in Markdown from a short questionnaire: what personal data you collect (name, email, phone, address, payment, usage data, cookies, location), which third parties you use (analytics, ads, payment processor, data sharing), and which regimes you address (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA), plus data deletion/export rights and a retention period. Returns the markdown, its section headings, and a word count. Every argument is optional; unanswered fields use the page defaults and missing company details become [placeholders].
