I think most apps don't update often enough. We've seen products with privacy/cookie policies that are 5+ years old and totally out of sync with the product itself.

We're building OpenPolicy not necessarily to reduce the risk companies have of litigation, but instead to be more transparent with users and to build trust.

In the next version we'll be releasing auto-instrumentation that tracks data/third parties to always keep things in sync.

Privacy policy is one thing, but that’s what terms of service are for!


Terms of service don't override laws so only a fool thinks that they have any effect on litigation.


If a set of terms not overriding the law makes it useless, what do you think contracts are for?


Okay a couple of things here... The first is that not all contracts are equally legally binding. Terms of service would be among the least. The second is that a contract also cannot override the law... You can't break the law just because it's in a contract...
