All these pages can be created online and they are free. Just do a Google search for Free Privacy Policy Generator, Free Legal Disclaimer Generator and Free Terms and Services Generator.
Provide all the required information, fill in the forms and when you’re done just hit the generate button. Once your page is generated you just need to copy and paste it into your website.
