Business Basics
Every website needs a privacy policy and terms of use. Scadable generates them from what your product actually does, publishes them, and keeps them current.
What it covers
The foundational documents every company with a website needs: a Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, with a Cookie Policy and Data Processing Agreement to follow. They are legally required almost everywhere you operate and expected by app stores, payment processors, and enterprise buyers.
Why it is a framework, not a template
A real regulator sets the requirements: the GDPR (Articles 13 and 14), Quebec's Law 25, and California's CCPA. A compliant privacy policy has to disclose the third parties and data categories your product actually uses. Generic generators cannot do that; they produce a template from a form.
Scadable scans your code to detect the services and data your product uses, then generates a policy that actually matches it.
How it works
Connect your repository and answer a short questionnaire. Most fields auto-fill from the scan and your company profile. Scadable generates the documents, you publish them, and they go live at a hosted URL you embed on your site. Every change is versioned.
It stays current
Because the policy is generated from your code, it does not drift. When you add a new analytics tool or data processor, a re-scan flags it and updates the disclosure, so your published policy stays accurate instead of going stale the day after you write it.
Embed it anywhere
Copy a one-line snippet, or run the install wizard, and the live document renders on your own domain, hosted and kept current by Scadable. Scadable's own privacy policy is served exactly this way.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I legally need a privacy policy?
- If your website or app collects any personal data (analytics, sign-ups, cookies), yes. Laws such as the GDPR, Quebec Law 25, and the CCPA require it, and most third-party services require one too.
- How is this different from a privacy policy generator?
- Generators produce a generic template from a form. Scadable scans your actual code to detect the services and data your product uses, discloses them, and keeps the policy current as your code changes.
- What is Terms of Use?
- The agreement that governs how people may use your product: acceptable use, liability, governing law, and your rights. It protects you legally and is expected by app stores and enterprise buyers.
- Does the policy stay up to date?
- Yes. It is generated from your code, so a re-scan catches new data processors or services and updates the disclosure. Every version is tracked.
- Can I embed it on my own site?
- Yes. You copy a snippet or run a wizard, and the live document renders on your domain, hosted and kept current by Scadable.
