Browsify: Legal Kit — Trust & Policy Pages

Most merchants generate a Privacy Policy and Terms of Service once, when the store first launches, and never touch them again. Meanwhile the store itself keeps changing — new apps get installed, new data gets collected, new countries get added to shipping, subscription options get introduced — and the legal pages quietly fall out of sync with reality:

• Privacy Policy doesn't match what you collect: If you add a new app that tracks visitors or collects emails and your Privacy Policy doesn't mention it, you're technically out of compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Shopify's own merchant terms.
• Refund Policy is vague or missing: Vague refund terms are one of the top reasons payment processors cite when reviewing a chargeback dispute in the customer's favor — an unclear policy usually gets read against the merchant.
• Shipping Policy doesn't reflect current carriers or countries: Customers who see outdated shipping promises before checkout are more likely to open a support ticket, or a chargeback, when reality doesn't match.

Weak legal pages rarely cause a single dramatic incident — they cause a slow accumulation of avoidable losses:

• Lost chargeback disputes: Payment processors weigh policy clarity heavily when adjudicating disputes. A vague refund policy tips ambiguous cases toward the customer.
• Payment processor reviews: Shopify Payments and other processors periodically review merchant accounts for policy compliance — missing pages can trigger a hold or a request for documentation.
• Customer distrust at checkout: Shoppers who click "Refund Policy" and land on a 404, or a policy that was clearly never customized, hesitate right at the moment they were about to buy.
• Compounding legal exposure: An outdated Privacy Policy becomes a real liability the moment you add subscriptions, SMS marketing, or a new tracking pixel and never update the page describing what you do with customer data.

Legal Kit keeps your store's policy pages accurate without you needing to track every regulation change yourself:

• Guided generation: Answer a short questionnaire about what you sell, where you ship, what apps you use, and what data you collect — Legal Kit generates a Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Refund Policy, and Shipping Policy tailored to your actual store.
• Drift detection: Legal Kit periodically checks your installed apps and store settings against what your policies describe, and flags when something's out of sync — a new tracking app installed but not disclosed, for example.
• Jurisdiction-aware templates: Templates account for GDPR (EU), CCPA/CPRA (California), and general international consumer protection norms, so you're not stuck with a US-only or EU-only template.
• One-click page publishing: Generated policies publish directly to Shopify's policy pages — no manual copy-paste, no theme editing.

Legal pages aren't an isolated fix — they're the connective tissue for everything else a compliance-conscious store needs. A proper Privacy Policy needs to disclose your cookie consent practices (Browsify: Consent), your accessibility commitment (Browsify: Accessible), and your subscription cancellation terms (Browsify: Cancel Anywhere). Getting the Legal Kit right first makes every other compliance app easier to represent accurately.
