Pretty Website.No Protection?
What's Missing From Your Site Can Cost You $10k+
Hey ,
Let’s talk about something almost no one tells you when you launch a digital business:
Your website might be a legal liability. It might be doing everything right visually and still be legally vulnerable.
Most creators, consultants, and coaches forget to include:
A valid Privacy Policy (that matches how they collect + use data)
Clearly written Terms & Conditions (to limit liability)
A Refund Policy that complies with consumer law
This isn’t just legal fluff. These policies are your receipts and they show regulators and customers that you run a real, trustworthy business.
Compliance Tip of the Week:
Check your website footer right now. Do you have all 3 essentials: Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and Refund Policy?
If not, fix it ASAP to avoid chargebacks, disputes, or worse… fines. You can create customizable policy templates that fit your business needs and data collection practices by using tools like Termly, Privacy Policies, and Termageddon.
Here’s a checklist to get started:
Identify your policy gaps
Update or create new policies
Upload policies to the footer of your website
When in doubt, consult a licensed attorney to review your website policies.
If you don’t have one, I’m happy to help you get connected, just schedule a quick call.
