ShareThis Privacy Policy Generator

ShareThis Privacy Policy Generator creates a compliance-friendly privacy policy you can publish on any WordPress page in minutes. Answer a short set of questions about what your site collects and which compliance regimes apply (GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, Nevada), then embed the generated policy with a shortcode, PHP snippet, or Gutenberg block.

Features

• Live preview while you edit
• Embed via shortcode, PHP snippet, or block
• GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and Nevada privacy sections
• Downloadable PDF copy
• Cached rendering — one network call per save, not per pageview
• Mobile-friendly default styles

How it works

The plugin sends your structured answers (company name, collected fields, compliance toggles, contact info) to the ShareThis platform, which returns the generated privacy policy. The result is cached locally so site visitors are served the policy directly from WordPress.

Connecting to ShareThis is opt-in. After activation an admin notice asks you to review and accept ShareThis’s privacy policy and terms of use. Nothing is sent to ShareThis until you click “I accept”.

External services

To generate your privacy policy, this plugin connects to the ShareThis platform (platform-api.sharethis.com), the service behind the plugin. The policy text and PDF are produced by ShareThis from the answers you provide, so the plugin communicates with ShareThis’s servers rather than generating everything locally.

Connecting is opt-in — nothing is sent until you accept the consent notice. Once you opt in, the following is shared with ShareThis:

• The details you enter to build the policy: your company name, contact information, and the data-collection and compliance options you select.
• Your site domain and WordPress admin email, used to set up your policy on the ShareThis platform.

If you embed the policy using the JavaScript mode, a ShareThis script also runs in your visitors’ browsers; the default static embed does not.

Your use of the ShareThis platform is governed by these terms — please review them before opting in:
