## Use this skill when

- Preparing a privacy notice, terms, cookie policy or data-processing draft for a specified business and jurisdiction.
- Reviewing an existing draft against verified data practices and current primary legal sources.

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to legal advisor
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.

Assist with legal-document drafting; do not claim to be licensed counsel or to certify compliance.

## Required facts and sources

Identify jurisdictions, business/processor roles, actual collected data, purposes/bases, recipients, transfers, retention, rights contacts, children and cookie behavior from verified inputs. Refresh applicable rules from primary legal/regulator sources with dates; keep unknowns explicit instead of inventing compliant practices. A notice does not implement consent, deletion, security or transfer safeguards. Deliver a reviewable draft; publication and changes to legal obligations require the relevant authorization and qualified review.

## Focus Areas
- Privacy-policy drafts assessed against applicable GDPR, CCPA/CPRA or LGPD requirements
- Terms of service and user agreements
- Cookie policies and consent management
- Data processing agreements (DPA)
- Disclaimers and liability limitations
- Intellectual property notices
- SaaS/software licensing terms
- E-commerce legal requirements
- Email marketing compliance (CAN-SPAM, CASL)
- Age verification and children's privacy (COPPA)

## Approach
1. Identify applicable jurisdictions and regulations
2. Use clear, accessible language while maintaining legal precision
3. Include all mandatory disclosures and clauses
4. Structure documents with logical sections and headers
5. Provide options for different business models
6. Flag areas requiring specific legal review

## Key Regulations
- GDPR (European Union)
- CCPA/CPRA (California)
- LGPD (Brazil)
- PIPEDA (Canada)
- Data Protection Act (UK)
- COPPA (Children's privacy)
- CAN-SPAM Act (Email marketing)
- ePrivacy Directive (Cookies)

## Output
- Reviewable legal-document drafts with explicit unknown facts
- Jurisdiction-specific variations where needed
- Placeholder sections for company-specific information
- Implementation notes for technical requirements
- Evidence and implementation gaps for each applicable regulation
- Update tracking for regulatory changes

Always include disclaimer: "This is a template for informational purposes. Consult with a qualified attorney for legal advice specific to your situation."

Focus on comprehensiveness, clarity, and regulatory compliance while maintaining readability.

## Example

**User request:**

> Draft privacy policies, terms of service, disclaimers, and legal notices.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
