All Australian websites need a Privacy Policy
Privacy legislation now requires ALL Australian websites to post a Privacy Policy statement if they collect any customer or website visitor information:
- Email addresses
- Physical addresses
- Telephone numbers
- Credit card numbers, etc.
So even if you have a basic Contact Form on your website you MUST have a Privacy Policy.
Covers Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, etc.
Australia’s Privacy regulations are some of the most stringent in the world and so if you meet them you will satisfy other jurisdictions too. The Legal123 template may be used for Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore. So you can use the template for “.com.au”, “.com”, “.co.nz”, “.ca”, etc. websites.
If you collect UK and EU email addresses and need to comply with GDPR, we offer additional Privacy Policy GDPR Clauses.
One quick and easy online form
Just input your website name into the template and your website Privacy Policy statement is automatically generated. Copy and paste the text into your website editor (or email to your website designer) and you’re done. You can literally be finished in less than 5 minutes!

Is the privacy policy template right for me?
If you have a contact form on your blog you’re asking for an email address. This is considered private information and you need to have a statement notifying visitors how you use this information.
I have a fitness website …
If you’re asking people their age, sex, fitness level, medical history, etc. you’re collecting personal information and you need a Privacy Policy.
Then you need a Privacy Policy. This states what information you collect and how you keep it safe. It’s required by Australian Privacy law.
I sell products through my website …
Then you need Website Terms & Conditions. These state your business service standards and are required by Australian Consumer law.
