Is your privacy policy actually about your business? Spotting boilerplate
A generic, copy-pasted policy can be worse than none — it describes practices that aren't yours. ClauseReport checks for specificity.
This is part of our series explaining every check in the ClauseReport model. It is general information, not legal advice.
What ClauseReport checks
This is an AI-assisted check in the Hygiene category. ClauseReport looks for whether policy readability/specificity is addressed on the site or in its published policy.
Why it matters
Clear, accurate disclosures build trust with visitors and make the rest of your compliance work easier. The point isn’t to render a legal verdict — it’s to surface a factual gap you (or your counsel) can act on.
What a clean result looks like
A policy specific to your business: your name, your data, your tools, your roles — readable and concrete.
The common gap
Suspiciously short or generic boilerplate that could describe any website and matches none of your actual practices.
ClauseReport scans any website’s privacy policy and terms of service and reports findings like this one — factual observations, never legal conclusions. Run a free scan to see how your site does on this check.
