For anyone who has ever tried to align their legal documentation (Privacy Policy, ToS, Cookie Policy) with the actual technical reality of their website, you know the pain. Legal teams often work from generic templates, while engineering teams deploy third-party trackers and services that instantly make those documents obsolete or inaccurate.
Existing solutions are either expensive legal counsel (slow, manual) or generic online generators (fast, but technically blind).
NineNorms is an MVP built to bridge this gap. It works by:
1. *Technical Scan:* We perform a non-invasive scan of your public-facing URL to identify your tech stack, cookies, forms, and third-party services (analytics, payment, marketing).
2. *Draft Generation:* Using this technical data, we feed it into an LLM-powered engine to generate a draft legal document (Privacy Policy, ToS, etc.) that is specifically tailored to the detected data practices. We use templates aligned with the principles of frameworks like GDPR and CCPA.
*What NineNorms explicitly does not do:*
* We do not provide legal advice or guarantee compliance.
* We do not certify your business or claim regulator approval.
* The generated output is a draft that *must* be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before use.
We are looking for skeptical feedback from the HN community, particularly on the accuracy of the technical scanning and the structure of the generated drafts. We know the limitations are significant, but we believe this approach is a necessary step toward making compliance preparation more transparent and data-driven.
