Iubenda is a privacy policy generator for use with personal and business websites. Privacy policies protect your website from legal action and outline how exactly you use the data of your visitors, and Iubenda makes creating a detailed and site-appropriate privacy policy just a little bit easier. The application provides you with an embeddable button users can click to access your policy.
Iubenda lets you enter the various services provided by your website, your (or the site owner’s) information, then builds a custom privacy policy based on your specific needs. It even gives a custom privacy policy icon. The application supports multiple languages and remote updates.
Iubenda launched in February 2012 to rave reviews from site owners that needed a simple method for building privacy policies into their websites. Since then, the policies generated by Iubenda have seen over six million views—Iubenda had over 4,000 people on its waiting list soon after its initial reveal. With such a massive surge in users in just a few months, it looks like Iubenda will continue to grow at a rapid pace.
Iubenda is the web’s only one-stop solution for generating a custom, easy-to-read and legally valid privacy policy. The application has been tested thoroughly to ensure that it provides effective, relevant and readable privacy policies with as little effort as possible on the part of the webmaster. More importantly, the privacy policies it creates stand up to strict legal scrutiny.
Iubenda’s three-step process makes building a privacy policy incredibly simple. First, you enter the services your website provides. Next, you enter the relevant contact information for the site administrator or business owner. Finally, you customize the icon displayed on your site. You can copy the code directly out of the interface, or email it to your web developer.
To register for Iubenda, all you need is an email address and a password. A confirmation email is sent, but you do not need to interact with it in order to build your privacy policy. You can upgrade your registration to the “Pro” level at any time.
Iubenda’s basic membership is free and lets you build a privacy policy addressing up to four individual services. The paid membership, which runs $27 per year, allows for an infinite number of services (including custom services) and a logo-free icon for embedding.
Webmasters and business owners often overlook the importance of the privacy policy they display on their websites. Iubenda should be used by any web application or service site that wants to ensure its privacy policy is legally correct and accessible for readers. If you can’t afford to have an attorney build a custom privacy policy for your site, Iubenda is the way to go.
