The Opportunity

Problem

Small business owners can't afford complex, expensive regtech tools for GDPR compliance that require dedicated staff.

Solution

PolicyForge uses a quick quiz to create tailored privacy policies, cookie notices, and DPAs in minutes. It hosts them on your subdomain and auto-updates for legal changes. Small owners get compliant docs without lawyers, plus a scanner to verify site integration.

Target Audience

Small business owners handling EU customer data requiring GDPR compliance

Differentiator

AI-powered doc generator + hosting with auto-updates, $25/mo vs lawyer fees ($500+).
