Website Terms & Privacy

Plain-English policies that match how your site actually works.

MVPs move fast; policies shouldn’t be an afterthought.

We write website terms and privacy notices that reflect your product, satisfy UK GDPR/PECR, and won’t spook a careful reader.

When to use this

  • You’re launching a site or app and need Terms of Use, a Privacy Notice, and a Cookies Policy that fit what you collect and how you operate.
  • You’ve copied a template and aren’t sure it matches reality (tracking, forms, support tools, payment providers).
  • An investor, partner or marketplace is asking for compliant policies before they’ll list you.
  • You’re changing analytics, ads, or consent tooling and want the paperwork to keep pace.

What’s included

Website Terms of Use — clear rules for visitors and users, limitation of liability pitched for early stage, IP and acceptable-use that make sense for your product.

Privacy Notice (UK GDPR) — purpose-led data explanations, lawful bases, retention, rights, contact route, and third-party processors set out plainly.

Cookies Policy (PECR) — what you set, why you set it, and how users can manage it.

Consent banner guidance — a short note on practical consent, GA4/ads tags, and avoiding “dark patterns”.

Data mapping mini-pass — a quick run-through of your forms, tools and vendors so the notices match reality.

Implementation pack — clean Word and PDF versions, plus a launch checklist for your dev/ops team.

Timeline

Discovery today. Scope agreed fast. First drafts usually within a few working days once we have your inputs and a quick look at your stack. Sign-off depends on how many cooks are in the kitchen; we keep momentum.

Inputs we’ll need

  • Your URL(s), product description, and who the site is for.
  • A rough list of tools and vendors (analytics, live chat, email, payments, hosting, CDNs, error logging).
  • What you collect in forms, how long you keep it, and who can see it.
  • Any age-gating, community features, or user-generated content.
  • Your preferred tone and any house style we should respect.

Common FAQs

If you set non-essential cookies (analytics, ads, socials), PECR says you need consent before setting them and a clear way to manage that choice. We’ll explain what’s essential, what isn’t, and how to implement consent without wrecking UX.

Often, yes with tweaks. We’ll separate site terms from app terms if roles differ, and adjust privacy sections where your data flows change. One source of truth beats three half-matching policies.

You’ll get a short maintenance note. When you swap vendors or switch on new tags, update the lists and if consent changes adjust the banner. If you’d rather, send us the change and we’ll revise the docs on a fixed mini-fee.

Understanding Website & Privacy Terms

Website Terms and Privacy Bundle Image

Your site will change three times before lunch. The paperwork has to keep up. When people search for website terms lawyers, they don’t want a template; they want someone who will look at what the site really does – sign-ups, checkout, community rules, the bit where support steps in, and write terms that fit. We set out what users can do, what they can’t, what happens when they push it, and where liability stops. No drama, no surprises.

Privacy gets the same treatment. As privacy policy lawyers, we explain what you collect and why, who helps you process it, and how long anything sticks around. If you’re running GA4, an ad pixel, live chat, or error logging, it goes in, plain English, not small print. Consent where PECR needs it. A banner that actually respects the choice. A link that still works a month from now.

Plenty of our clients are in London. If you’re typing website terms lawyers London or privacy policy lawyers London because an investor wants “compliant docs” by Friday, we get it. We move fast without dumping boilerplate on your users. First drafts land quickly; edits are short; the final copies are ready for your CMS and your designer’s eye.

A quick story. A marketplace added reviews and a fraud screen late in the sprint. We rewrote the Website Terms so moderation and notice-and-action were crystal clear, then added a short, honest line in the Privacy Policy about profiling and automated checks. The cookie banner changed too: consent before non-essential cookies, no dark patterns, no guesswork.

Fees are fixed once we scope. You’ll know what’s included and how future tweaks are priced. You leave with Website Terms you can stand behind, a Privacy Policy people can actually read, and a site that holds up when an investor, or a regulator, takes a hard look.
