A small controller’s privacy notice names the company, the records it actually keeps, where those records come from, and who to write to. You can create that draft with no account, then review it before it goes on the site.
A privacy notice is the page that tells a person what the company does with their data. For a small business that is often the contact form, the inbox, the customer list, and the invoices. The notice should match those records. A template that lists processing the company does not do is as weak as a missing page.
The public tool at cansome.com/sites/create-privacy-notice/ asks for the legal name, the business ID, and an email, then for the registers and sources you turn on. Necessary cookies stay on for a cookie notice. You can add one custom row. Cansome does not keep what you type. The draft is for you to copy as text, as HTML, or through the browser’s print dialog.
Read the legal name, the business ID, and the records before you publish. The tool is a notice to review. When you want a lawyer, that review stays with you. The line at the end of the tool says the same thing.
On a Cansome Sites site the same company details keep the privacy page and the cookie page, and they update when those details change. Those two pages count toward the plan page cap. A one-page site on yourname.free.cansome.com is the place to put a single public page. A full site, with room for the notice and the cookie page in more than one language, belongs on Professional.
Search engines and answer engines can cite a page that states what it creates and who it is for. This guide is that explanation. The tool is the place you create the draft. Review the notice before you publish it.
Name the controller the way the trade register names it. A marketing name in the heading and a different legal name in the footer confuses the person reading. The business ID sits next to that legal name. The email on the notice should be one you actually read.
Registers worth ticking are the ones you can point at: the contact form, the customer list, the payroll file, the camera at the door. Leave the others off. A custom row is for the one thing the checklist does not name. Purpose can be a plain sentence.
A cookie notice is the second document. Necessary cookies stay on because the site needs them to run. Analytics, marketing, and embedded players are choices. If you turn analytics on in Cansome Sites, the load counts start then, and the beacon is first-party. Say that in the cookie notice when it is true for you.
When the draft looks right, copy it or print it to PDF from your own browser. Nothing you typed is stored by the tool. On a Sites subscription the same details can live on the site and refresh at the next publish. Review the notice before you publish it.
Keep a copy of the notice with the date you published it. When the records change, for example you add a booking inbox or you stop using a marketing pixel, update the notice and the date. On Sites, changing the company details and publishing again is the path. The public tool is the path when you do not have a subscription yet, or when you want a draft to read before the build.
People ask whether a generator is legal advice. It is not. It assembles the clauses Sites uses, from the boxes you tick. You decide if those boxes match the company. If a register is sensitive, or you are unsure of the basis, ask someone who advises on that. The tool’s job is to get an accurate draft onto the page instead of leaving the page blank.
If you already have a notice from a previous site, read it against the boxes in the tool. Old notices often name a host you left, a pixel you removed, or a booking tool you never turned on. The draft is useful when it lists the records you keep now. Copy the HTML if your current site can take a fragment of headings and lists. Copy the text if you will paste it into an editor. Save as PDF when you want a file in your own folder. Then, if the site should hold the notice for you, ask for a Cansome Sites build on the form under the tool. Review the notice before you publish it.

The next step is on this page: the form asks for the site, or the privacy tool creates the draft. You do not need another explanation page in between.
