Compliance & regulatory

The regulatory floor for a consumer app: GDPR/CCPA plumbing, store policies, age rules, tax and consumer-protection obligations, and when you genuinely need a lawyer.

15 decision topics in this thread — every topic gives a recommended default, the reasoning, and what flips it. Titles and dates below are free; the verdicts and full topics are the paid masterclass (a few showcase verdicts are shown in full).
