Compliance Guides for Web Apps?

Compliance is a road block, there's no doubt about it. But being caught off guard hurts.

This morning I discovered I was lacking some compliance, when I dove into why a a call to the Google Places API was returning an error. I've since fixed the issues of non-compliance and noticed a couple other areas that I was lacking, but I'm sure there are more.

Does anyone have some checklists or guides for compliance?

Areas I need to find help with / or guides:

  • general terms & conditions
  • analytics
  • advertising
  • cookies
  • tracking
  • accounts and privacy
  • GDPR (less important to me atm)
  • CCPA (less important to me atm)
  • CANSPAM (seems pretty well covered)
  • Castle (seems pretty well covered)

Already covered pretty adequately:

  • payment integration from providers

Any help or resources would be appreciated. Compiling a comprehensive list of links should help other startups and indie hackers.

Do you target the strictest standards, meet the bare minimum, or fall somewhere in between?

  1. 1

    When you start off you want an in between that will meet your existing obligations/abilities but also be future proof to cover at least 6-12 months so that you don't have to waste time revisiting policies.

    Before recommending lists to meet your question, it is best to look at people who may be doing something similar and understanding how they have approached each of those problems.

  2. 1

    This is a good one for CCPA: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1654764949/

    I also put together www.lawavocado.com for LLC information.
