PolicyGen

Generate privacy and terms of service policies for your website or app. Define your policy config once in JSON, then generate well-structured HTML or Astro pages automatically.

Documentation | GitHub

Quick Start

Installation

npm install --save-dev policygen

Or use directly with npx:

npx policygen init

Configuration

Create a policygen.json config file in your project root:

npx policygen init

The init wizard walks you through policy-related questions. Pass --default to emit a blank config file instead.

The config file uses a JSON schema for editor autocompletion:

{
  "$schema": "https://policygen.xyz/schemas/0.6/schema.json",
  "output": {
    "fileType": "html",
    "cssFramework": "classes",
    "locales": ["en"],
    "privacyFilePath": "./privacy.html",
    "termsFilePath": "./terms.html"
  },
  "entity": { "name": "Acme Inc.", "website": "https://acme.com", "address": "..." },
  "privacy": { ... },
  "terms": { ... }
}

Generation

npx policygen generate
