  • Legal Team Involvement:
    • Collaborate with the in-house legal team or external legal advisors to review the terms and privacy policy for compliance with current laws and regulations in key markets (e.g., GDPR for the European Union, CCPA for California, etc.).
  • Track Regulatory Changes:
    • Monitor regulatory changes globally, particularly in regions where SayPro operates, to ensure that the terms of service and privacy policy remain up to date. Use legal resources or services that track updates in data protection and privacy laws.

    • Specify any third-party services or partners with whom user data may be shared and for what purposes (e.g., payment processors, marketing partners), ensuring transparency in all data-sharing practices.
• Expected Outcomes:

• Action Plan:
  • User Consent for Data Collection:
