Beta Posture
| Stage | GDPR posture | Required docs | Technical controls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder Preview | Internal/testing | Draft Privacy/Terms | Minimal data, private by default |
| Public Beta | Basic user-facing docs | Privacy, Terms, deletion channel | Auth guard, logs, processor map |
| Paid SaaS | Commercial readiness | DPA, cookie policy, billing terms | Audit logs, access control, backup policy |
| Marketplace | Platform compliance | Creator terms, app policies | Permission model, data boundaries |
Early Baseline
- Collect only data needed for the current product loop.
- Keep personal data private by default.
- Provide a deletion/export request channel before public beta.
- Maintain a processor list and update it when vendors are added.
- Prefer EU-friendly deployment and processing defaults where practical.
- Avoid sensitive data in Founder Preview.
- Do not claim enterprise-grade compliance or certification.
