Ask HN: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

[Eugene3v]

Hi Everyone !

I need to create a privacy policy and a terms of service for my web app. I googled the issue and discovered that there are some free online tools that will generate those for you. I was wondering if someone has any experience with those. At the same time I would appreciate if someone can recommend a good template for those two documents. General thoughts and inpput on the subject is welcomed as well.

Thank you.

Tarsnap has the best legal pages I've ever seen.

Anyone else? To all the founders, how did you compile your privacy and tos ? Did everyone turn to lawyers for this?
