Privacy Policy for Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow — Free Generator

Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow are popular no-code website builders that all require their users to publish their own privacy policy. The platforms themselves have privacy policies covering the platform service, but as a site owner, you are responsible for your own policy covering how YOUR site handles visitor data.

Why You Need a Privacy Policy on a No-Code Site

Even a "simple" Wix or Squarespace site usually triggers privacy policy requirements:

• Contact form (collects name, email, message)
• Newsletter signup
• Built-in analytics (Wix Analytics, Squarespace Analytics, Webflow analytics)
• Embedded Google Analytics
• Comments on blog posts
• E-commerce features (Wix Stores, Squarespace Commerce, Webflow Ecommerce)
• Social media embeds
• Third-party scripts you add yourself

Each of these collects personal data, and most users add at least 2-3 of them.

How to Generate Your No-Code Privacy Policy

1. Open the privacy policy generator
2. Enter your site name and URL
3. Check data types: Name, Email, IP Address, Cookies, Device Info, Usage Data. Add Phone if you have phone fields, Mailing Address if you sell physical products.
4. Check third-party services: Google Analytics (if added), Mailchimp/ConvertKit (if used for emails), Stripe/PayPal (if you accept payments)
5. Enable GDPR — no-code sites are typically global
6. Generate, copy, paste into your platform

How to Add It on Squarespace

1. In the Squarespace dashboard, go to Pages
2. Click + to add a new page (Not Linked is fine for legal pages)
3. Select Page > Blank
4. Title it "Privacy Policy"

6. Set the URL slug to "privacy-policy"
7. Save
8. Add to footer: Edit Footer > Navigation > Add Link > Privacy Policy page
9. For GDPR: Settings > Cookies & Visitor Data > enable cookie banner

How to Add It on Webflow

1. In the Webflow Designer, create a new Page named "Privacy Policy"
2. Add a Section, Container, and Rich Text element
3. Paste your generated policy into the Rich Text element
4. Style it to match your site

Wix-Specific Considerations

Wix collects significant data on your behalf through Wix Analytics, Wix Forms, Wix Bookings, and other built-in tools. Your privacy policy should mention that Wix processes data on your behalf as a sub-processor. Wix provides a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for GDPR-subject site owners — request it through Wix support if needed.

Squarespace-Specific Considerations

Squarespace's Cookies & Visitor Data panel offers basic cookie banner functionality. Enable it for GDPR compliance. Squarespace also processes payment data (via Stripe or Square) and visitor analytics on your behalf as a data processor. Mention this in your policy.

Webflow-Specific Considerations

Webflow's enterprise plans include cookie consent features. On lower plans, you typically need to add a third-party cookie banner script (CookieYes, Osano, or custom). Webflow's hosting includes basic analytics that should be mentioned in your policy.

Cookie Banner — Required for EU Traffic

All three platforms can have visitors from the EU. If you do not have a cookie consent banner, you are non-compliant with GDPR/ePrivacy. Options:

• Wix: Built-in Cookie Notification in Settings > Cookies
• Squarespace: Built-in cookie banner in Settings > Cookies & Visitor Data
• Webflow: Use Cookie Consent app or add a free third-party banner script

What If You Already Use a Privacy Policy App?

Some no-code site owners installed paid privacy policy apps from their platform's app marketplace ($5-$15/month). You can replace them with a free generated policy:

1. Generate a new policy with the free tool
2. Update your Privacy Policy page with the new content
3. Cancel the paid app subscription

The legal coverage is identical. Apps charge for hosting and updating, but a free generator with annual updates accomplishes the same thing.
