How To Easily Create A Privacy Policy For Your App
Apple requires you to submit your website's privacy policy for App Store listings. If you don't have one already, we recommend creating one with Shopify's privacy policy generator. This tool makes it easy to create a professional privacy policy to protect your company and customers without needing legal expertise.
The Process Overview
Follow these steps to quickly create your privacy policy:
-
Navigate to https://www.shopify.com/tools/policy-generator
-
Find the checkbox that says "I'll skip the Shopify trial for now. Just create my policy." and check it.
-
Fill in the sections with the required information about your company.
-
Enter your website information and select whether you use cookies or not.
-
Click the "Send me my privacy policy" button in the bottom right.
That's it! The privacy policy will be sent to your email address by Shopify. It's quick and simple.
Including Your Privacy Policy in App Store Submissions
When submitting your app to the App Store, you'll need to provide a link to your privacy policy in the App Store Connect portal. Make sure to:
- Upload the generated privacy policy to your website
- Create a dedicated page with a clear URL (e.g., yourdomain.com/privacy-policy)
- Ensure the page is publicly accessible
- Include this URL in your App Store submission
Having a clear, comprehensive privacy policy is not only required by Apple but also builds trust with your users by being transparent about how their data is used and protected.
