Software Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on May 18, 2023

Software agreement and GDPR compliance?

I am the founder of a software company that is looking to enter into a software agreement with a new client. We are in the process of finalizing the agreement but I am concerned that it may not be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). I want to make sure that the agreement is compliant with GDPR so that our company is not at risk of any legal action or penalties.

Nicholas M.

Answered Jun 6, 2023

You are smart to consider GDPR, but also should consider US Privacy Policies in connection with the agreement. There are several states the already have GDPR level of privacy policies and over 20 states with bills introduced as well. A well formed policy will consider the data collected, where it is stored and how it is transferred, who has access to the data, the purpose of the data for use in the app, the ability to sell or reuse the data for additional purposes, and when the data should be deleted. This process should be contemplated and consistent within employee manuals, data access procedures, and implemented in master services agreements across all vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers. One final note is that you need to practice what you write, because a published privacy policy that is not followed may be considered a deceptive trade practice by the FTC resulting in fines on top of the costs of a breach.

Website Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

Texas

Asked on Dec 2, 2024

Can a company change its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy without notifying its users?

I recently discovered that a popular online platform I use has made significant changes to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which I was not notified about. These changes seem to give the company more access to my personal data and reduce my rights as a user. I'm concerned about the implications of these changes and whether the company is allowed to make such modifications without informing its users in advance.

Jennifer B.

Answered Jan 7, 2025

Online platforms can modify their terms of service and privacy policies without advance notice if: (1) Their terms explicitly allow such changes, and (2) Users continue using the platform after changes are made. However, modifications may still be challenged if they are unconscionable or violate privacy laws, particularly if they significantly impact user rights or data protection. While platforms may have the right to make unannounced changes, the enforceability depends on the specific modifications and their compliance with applicable regulations.

Cookies Policy

Washington

Asked on Aug 14, 2025

What are the legal requirements for having a Cookies Policy on a website?

I recently started an e-commerce website where I collect and store personal data from users, including through the use of cookies. I want to ensure that I am compliant with all legal requirements regarding data privacy and protection, and I understand that having a Cookies Policy is essential. However, I am unsure of the specific legal obligations and disclosures that need to be included in this policy, and I would like to seek guidance from a lawyer to ensure that I am meeting all necessary requirements.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 10, 2025

If your website uses cookies to track visitors, you may be subject to strict privacy laws in the United States, Europe, Canada, and beyond, including the GDPR, UK GDPR/PECR, California’s CCPA/CPRA, and Quebec’s Law 25. Failing to comply can expose businesses (even small e-commerce sites) to fines, audits, or enforcement actions. GDPR, UK GDPR, and PECR If you have users in the EU or UK, the strictest rules apply. Non-essential cookies such as analytics, advertising, or social media tracking can’t be dropped until a user has given valid consent. Valid consent under GDPR must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. That means no pre-ticked boxes, no “by continuing to browse you consent,” and no dark patterns where “Reject All” is buried or harder to find than “Accept All.” Essential cookies, like those used to keep items in a cart or for login security, don’t require consent but still must be disclosed. Users must be able to withdraw consent just as easily as they gave it, which usually means a persistent “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the site. ePrivacy Directive This European law creates the consent requirement for storing or accessing information on a user’s device. It works alongside the GDPR, which sets the standard for what valid consent looks like. Together they form the backbone of EU cookie regulation. California CCPA/CPRA In California, the rules are different. You don’t need opt-in consent for cookies (except for minors), but you do need to provide disclosures and an opt-out. If you allow third-party advertising or analytics cookies that could qualify as “selling” or “sharing” personal information, you’re required to display a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link. You must also process the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal automatically as an opt-out. For minors, there are special rules: under 13 requires parental consent for selling or sharing, and between 13 and 16 requires the user’s own opt-in. Other U.S. State Laws States like Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia now require opt-outs for targeted advertising and profiling. Colorado goes a step further and requires honoring state-designated universal opt-out mechanisms, not just GPC. This means your systems need to detect and act on these browser signals in real time. Quebec’s Law 25 Quebec has taken a more EU-style approach. Non-essential cookies and other tracking technologies require prior, express consent. If you’re serving Canadian users, especially in Quebec, you’ll need to design your banner and policy closer to GDPR standards. What to Include in a Cookies Policy A legally compliant policy should be easy to find, typically linked in your site footer and from the banner itself. It should contain: • A plain language explanation of what cookies are and why you use them • Categories of cookies (necessary, preference, analytics, advertising) with examples and purposes • Duration of storage (session vs. persistent cookies) • Identification of third-party cookies, including names of providers and links to their policies • Instructions for users on how to manage or withdraw consent, both on your site and through browser settings • A description of how refusal of non-essential cookies may affect site functionality • Contact details for privacy inquiries and a clear “last updated” date Compliance in Practice Use a consent management platform or a tag manager configuration that blocks all non-essential cookies until consent is given in the EU, UK, and Quebec. Design your banner so “Accept All” and “Reject All” are equally visible, with a “Customize” option for granular control. Keep consent logs that record when consent was given, which categories were selected, and the version of the banner in use at the time. Regulators may ask to see this. If you’re covered by CCPA/CPRA or other U.S. state laws, make sure your systems detect and act on GPC or state-mandated universal opt-out mechanisms. If you’re relying on third-party ad tech or analytics vendors, check their contracts to confirm they’ll honor these signals downstream. Avoid cookie walls that block access unless a user accepts all cookies. European regulators generally view that as invalid because consent isn’t freely given if there’s no real choice. Review and update your policy regularly. If you change vendors, add new tracking tools, or alter how you use cookies, update the policy and refresh the banner if needed. Protect Your Business Regulators are imposing multimillion-dollar fines for cookie violations. Contracts Counsel’s privacy attorneys can draft compliant policies and consent systems tailored to your business and aligned with 2025 legal requirements.

SaaS Agreement for beta use for anyone

We are a technology SaaS startup in the process of launching our product. We need an agreement that covers our beta period of a few months. We are allowing anyone to use it in this period to market the product. The usage is free of cost. Besides the standard SaaS terms, we want terms to cover for any issues with data loss/protection and anything that can possibly go wrong as we are still in beta and have a few things to fix before we go live in production. Please let me know how much this will cost and when we can have it available. We are a Southern California based company in infancy.

This is a pretty standard document. The biggest concern is just making sure that the document reflects the reality of how customer data will be used. Usually a Privacy Policy is referenced in the terms, and is likely one of the most important documents for a CA startup.

Data Processing Agreement

Texas

Asked on May 3, 2025

Is a Data Processing Agreement necessary for my business?

I recently started a small online business where I collect and process personal data from customers, such as their names, addresses, and payment information. I've heard about the importance of protecting customer data and ensuring compliance with data protection laws. I want to make sure I am taking the necessary steps to safeguard this information and maintain legal compliance. I've come across the term 'Data Processing Agreement' but I'm not sure if it is something I need for my business. Can you please advise me on whether a Data Processing Agreement is necessary and what it entails?

Jennifer B.

Answered May 6, 2025

As an online business collecting customer data in Texas, you're right to be concerned about data protection compliance. Data privacy regulations depend on where your customers are and your volume of business. A Data Processing Agreement is a contract between a data controller (you, as the business owner) and a data processor (any third party that processes personal data on your behalf). It establishes the rights and obligations of each party regarding the processing of personal data. It helps ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. It also discloses to your customers which companies are processing their data. Whether you need a DPA depends on several factors: Third-party services: If you use services like payment processors, cloud storage providers, email marketing platforms, or website hosting that access your customers' personal data, you likely need DPAs with these service providers. Applicable laws: While Texas doesn't have a comprehensive data privacy law like California's CCPA, it does have the new Texas Data Security and Privacy Act, which likely impacts you if your company earns 25%+ of its revenue from selling consumer data or hits other revenue thresholds. Laws in other states and in the EU also might apply. Industry standards: DPAs have become standard practice for demonstrating data protection compliance, regardless of strict legal requirements. Benefits of Implementing a DPA: Even if not strictly required by law in Texas, DPAs offer significant benefits: (1) clarify responsibilities between your business and service providers; (2) reduce legal liability through contractual protections; (3) increase customer trust by demonstrating a commitment to data protection; (4) preparation for evolving data protection laws; and (5) a potential competitive advantage over businesses without such protections. As data privacy regulations evolve, implementing DPAs now positions your business ahead of compliance requirements while building customer trust through demonstrated commitment to data protection. I use one in my practice. You should speak with an attorney who can provide a detailed DPA analysis based on your industry and customers.
