@richardpaker ideally I would like to use a lawyer. But when bootstrapping, you’re limited with budgets, next best thing was someone reputable on Fiverr. Last resort are templates and chatGPT

Living in the US being a country where everyone sues everyone just trying to make some free $$$ and the fact that there are so many of these dirty lawyers scares the crap out of me.

So making sure I have a buttoned up privacy policy, terms of use, and cookies policy is so important.
