# Legal Compliance & Documentation

Draft terms of service, privacy policies, software licenses, and compliance documentation aligned with data protection and product regulations.

## Core Components

1. **Data Practices Audit** — Map all personal data categories (account, usage, payment, device), legal basis for collection, retention periods, third-party sharing.

2. **Privacy Policy** — GDPR-compliant: controller identity, legal basis per purpose, data subject rights, DPO contact, international transfer mechanisms. CCPA-compliant: personal information categories, sale/sharing disclosures, opt-out rights.

3. **Terms of Service** — Acceptable use policies, IP ownership (user content license, product IP retention), liability limitations, warranties, dispute resolution (arbitration, governing law), termination + data portability.

4. **Software License** — Open source (MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL, AGPL) vs. commercial (seat/usage-based pricing, audit rights, support levels).

5. **Cookie Consent** — Compliant banner: necessary (no consent), analytics (opt-in under GDPR), marketing (opt-in); granular category selection; consent records for audit.

6. **Data Processing Agreement (DPA)** — Processor/controller roles, processing purposes and data categories, technical/organizational security measures, Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. **Open Source Compliance** — Dependency catalog with license type, obligations (attribution, source disclosure, copyleft propagation), NOTICE file, source offer, license inclusion.

8. **Compliance Frameworks** — SOC 2 Type II: Trust Service Criteria mapping; ISO 27001: Statement of Applicability; HIPAA: administrative/physical/technical safeguards.

9. **Data Subject Requests** — GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection) with 30-day response timelines, identity verification, execution runbooks.

10. **Breach Notification** — GDPR timeline (72 hours), content (breach nature, data involved, measures taken, contact), individual notifications, supervisory authority notifications.

## Technical Standards

- Privacy policies must enumerate every personal data category with specific legal basis per purpose
- Terms versioning: effective dates recorded; version acceptance captured at signup
- Open source: validate every release against dependency licenses
- Cookie consent: blocks non-essential scripts until affirmative consent recorded
- DPAs reference specific technical measures (encryption standards, access controls, audit logging)
- Data subject workflows have engineering runbooks with database queries and verification steps
- All documents: plain language (8th-grade reading level) for informed consent
