About
About this tool
Different businesses need different legal pages. This checklist asks what kind of business you run, where you trade, and what your website does, such as taking payments, running ads, shipping products or offering subscriptions. It then lists every page and disclosure you need, split into what's required by law or payment gateways and what's recommended best practice.
It covers India (DPDP Act, IT Rules, Consumer Protection E-Commerce Rules), the US (CalOPPA, CCPA and state privacy laws, COPPA, FTC rules), the UK and EU (GDPR, PECR and the ePrivacy Directive, consumer contract rules), Canada (PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25) and Australia (the Privacy Act and Australian Consumer Law). It also adds industry rules, like RERA numbers for Indian real estate, FSSAI licences for food, and the medical, financial and legal disclaimers.
Each item explains in plain English why you need it and links to a free generator. Download the checklist as a file to tick off as you go, or run the Legal Page Checker once your site is live.
