Welcome!
If you’re normal, you probably haven’t given much thought as to what makes a website policies generator great. Chances are, you’re just visiting this page to ensure we know a thing or two about privacy.
Spoiler Alert: Yes. Yes, we do.
So, now you’re probably wondering how we got so passionate about improving the Privacy Policy process.
To answer that question, here’s a quick love story about how Termageddon came to be … yes, a literal love story.
Love at First Site
Our co-founders – Donata and Hans – happen to be married. It all started when they met during the sale of a website development company, and shared their frustrations over Privacy Policies during dinner. Standard first date stuff.
Fortunately for us, the choice to talk about policies instead of Zodiac signs led to a match made in privacy-compliance heaven.
Donata – a licensed attorney – focused her work on privacy and international contracts law and knew first-hand the monotony of writing Privacy Policies manually for clients.
Hans – former agency owner – hated the confusing verbiage associated with privacy laws, and the difficulties of finding a Privacy Policy option for websites that was quick, affordable, and actually comprehensive.
Thus, in 2016, the first child of Donata and Hans’ marriage was born and they named it Termageddon (to the dismay of their mothers).
Since then, Termageddon has generated tens of thousands of policies for happy customers around the globe. They grow up so fast.

In addition to running Termageddon, Donata also serves as the Chair of the American Bar Association’s ePrivacy Committee, frequently chats with the authors and enforcers of privacy laws, and has presented at countless legal conferences on privacy law trends and compliance to other attorneys.
We’re proud that Termageddon is the longest-running Privacy Policy generator listed as a tech vendor by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (the largest privacy organization in the world). And last but not least, we are here to demystify the world of Privacy Policies, Cookie Policies, Terms and Conditions, Disclaimers, and website compliance – helping people understand ‘it’s really not that bad!’
Why the Name Termageddon?
It was either that or Terminator, and Terminator.com was already taken. In all seriousness, we know that data privacy can be an intimidating topic, and we think a fun name can easily break the ice and get the conversation started. If you like the name, chances are we would like each other in real life too. Let’s work together!

Frequently Asked Questions
