Step 1 — Inventory: what your app actually does

Before generating, list the data flows: what you collect, why, where you store it, and which third parties process it.

Common items to declare

• Analytics (Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel)
• Crash reporting (Crashlytics)
• Ads & monetization (AdMob, IronSource)
• Authentication (email, social login)
• In-app purchases and payment processors

Step 2 — Use the generator’s prompts accurately

Answer honestly: marking “no” for analytics when you use Firebase will create incorrect text. If you use any SDK that collects identifiers, include it.

Step 3 — Customize the language

Generators produce legally informed default text. Add your brand voice and clarifications for unique interactions (e.g., user-uploaded content retention).

Step 4 — Publish and link it where stores expect

App Store Connect: paste the URL in Privacy Policy & Support fields where applicable. Google Play: Store presence → Store listing → Privacy policy link.

Best practices and troubleshooting

• Place the policy URL in your app listing and in-app settings
• Keep a copy downloadable (PDF) for legal teams or enterprise customers
• Update the policy immediately after significant product or third-party changes
