PolicyMaker is a lightweight web application for creating, managing, publishing, and displaying privacy policies for Android mobile applications. It is built using PHP and SQLite, so it does not need a heavy database server or complex deployment setup. The project is available on GitHub – https://github.com/mypapit/policymaker
PolicyMaker Dashboard
PolicyMaker Wizard
The main idea behind PolicyMaker is simple. Many Android developers need a public privacy policy page, especially when publishing applications to app stores. Instead of manually writing and formatting the same policy structure again and again, PolicyMaker provides an administrator-only wizard that helps generate structured privacy policy text from simple inputs.
The wizard supports yes/no choices, radio buttons, checkboxes, and text fields. It can collect details such as application name, package name, website, effective date, personal data collection, analytics, advertising, permissions, service providers, data retention, security, user rights, and children’s privacy.
PolicyMaker is useful for small developers, indie Android publishers, educators, and small organizations that manage several simple mobile apps. It is not meant to be a large enterprise compliance platform. Its strength is that it is small, direct, and easy to host. It only requires PHP 8.3 or newer with SQLite/PDO SQLite support. The installer creates the SQLite database and generates the first administrator password.
The public policy pages also include Schema.org JSON-LD metadata, which helps make the policy page more structured for search engines
PolicyMaker is licensed under the BSD 2-Clause license. This makes it practical for developers who want a small self-hosted privacy policy system that can be modified and deployed with minimal restriction.
