How do you deal with creating and maintaining terms-of-use, privacy-policy, cookie-consent, fair-use-policy, and any other legal documents/flows?
Here's what I did/looked at so far:
- With previous projects I've manually crafted the legal documents, started from an open source and modified it to suit my needs.
- At some point I've purchase Iubenda lifetime deal on AppSumo. Now I wanted to use it for typefully.io, and found that it's not covering everything that I need. So annoyingly it was a waste of money.
Looking for other solutions, I've found:
- Axeptio - they have a very friendly cookie-consent product. They are focused on that only and seem to be really innovative. For example, they provide contextual-consent that pops-up when the user wants to interact with some 3rd party tool such as form, chat, video, etc. They also have a free tier up to 150k visits and 2 cookies. In terms of number of visits this is more than enough. I wonder if 2 cookies is ever enough for anyone. The free tier also doesn't include consent-storage. I guess this is kind of mandatory if you want to be covered if you ever find yourself in court. Isn't it? Next tier is 15 Euro / month
- Quantcast offers a free cookie-consent generator. Looks nice, haven't tested it too deeply though.
- GetTerms offers terms, cookie-policy and acceptable-use policy with "GDPR and CCPA ready", for one-time payment of $49. If you wander around their website long enough you'll get a $10-off coupon. You can use this link if you want instead (I'm not affiliated and I don't promise that it'll work)
- WebSitePolicies offers premium packages for commercial use for one-time payment of $29.95-$59.95. They also have a free tier for personal use. Even though this is a one-time payment, the documents will update as regulations change, and they'll even host it for you if you want. They have a simple cookie-consent banner generator as well which looks non-intrusive and they claim it to be compliant with regulations.
I'm thinking to go with WebSitePolicies since it seems to be the most comprehensive while still being one-time payment.
I'd be happy to hear how others are dealing with this?
P.S.
I'm always looking for the right place to ask such question. I just came across ask ihers suggested-group. If you too, like me, feel that it's needed, please join the group so it can be opened.
I've been looking at termly.io but also not fond of the $15/mo fee
Ycombinator has some good templates, otherwise I just google like you did!
