How to Add Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Pages in Draftly
Legal pages aren't exciting but they're necessary. They protect you legally and are required by most payment processors and app stores.
Do You Need These Pages?
Yes, if you:
- Collect any user data (even just an email via a form)
- Accept payments
- Use analytics tools
- Have an app or SaaS product
Maybe not urgently, if:
- Your site is purely informational with no forms
- You're just getting started and will add them within weeks
Fastest Approach: Generator Tools
Free generators produce acceptable starting-point documents:
- Termly.io — free tier, auto-generates based on your site type
- Privacypolicies.com — fast, basic, free
- iubenda — more thorough, has a free tier
Adding Pages in Draftly
- Pages → Add Page → Blank
- Add a Rich Text block
- Paste your generated legal text
- Publish as `/privacy-policy` and `/terms`
- Add both to your footer navigation
Customisation Required
Generators produce templates. You must replace all placeholder text (YOUR_COMPANY_NAME, YOUR_EMAIL, etc.) and ensure the data practices described match what your site actually does.
DPDP Act (India)
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 creates specific obligations for data collection. Ensure your privacy policy addresses: data collected, purpose, retention period, and how users can request deletion.
