Ask HN: Is an auto-generated privacy policy OK for an MVP? We are launching a betta of our mvp product soon, and we need some legal stuff to be done: privacy policy, terms of service and etc. We do not want to waste time & money on lawyers at the current stage, so we found www.iubenda.com where we can autogenerate a privacy policy.
Any experience with them? Any pros and cons (pls beyond obvious) of using such services? Do you know any other services like this? |
Ideally, instead of using a service like you mentioned, you should copy and edit the privacy policy of a service that is as similar to yours as possible.
Once you make your first dollar or get your first ~10,000 users, it'll definitely be time to hire a lawyer.
Some important questions though:
1. How sensitive is your data? Is it PII (personally-identifying information)? That includes full names, addresses, phone numbers, and a complicated list of other things.
2. Are you in Europe?
3. Have you formed a limited-liability entity? In the US, that would be an LLC.
