Here’s the list of websites that provide a generator to make a privacy policy :

• DisclosurePolicy.org
• SerpRank.com
• The-DMA.org
• Bennadel.com

And here’s the tips of how to make a privacy policy for WordPress :

First, login to your WordPress dashboard, go to Manage -> Page -> Create New Page. Copy and paste the privacy policy that you just created using the privacy policy generator, then click Save.

Second, login to your control panel (C-Panel), go to public_html -> wp-content -> themes -> theme that you’re using -> footer.php.
For those who use WordPress 2.3.1 and later, you can go from Presentation -> theme editor -> footer.php.
Add this script in footer.php. You can put it in whenever you like.

<a href="http://yourdomain.com/privacy-policy>Privacy Policy</a>

Third, to make your privacy policy page not showing in the page list, you have edit Query in post.php file.
From C-Panel, go to public_html -> wp-include -> post.php
Use search function, find this script :

$query .= " WHERE (post_type = 'page' AND post_status = 'publish') $exclusions $inclusions " ;

And replace with this one :

$query .= " WHERE (post_type = 'page' AND post_title != 'privacy policy' AND post_status = 'publish') $exclusions $inclusions " ;

Then click Save.

Fourth, go back to your WordPress dashboard, go to Manage -> Page -> Edit Privacy Policy, then you Publish this page.

Now it’s done. If you do it right, instead in the navigation page menu bar in the upper side of the site (home, about me ,etc), you will find the privacy policy link in the bottom of your site. For the example, you can my privacy policy link in the bottom of this page, right before Powered by WordPress link.
