    SaaS Privacy Is Fundamentally Different

    A generic website privacy policy won't cut it for SaaS. Multi-tenant data, sub-processors, DPAs, and API access create unique compliance requirements that standard templates completely miss.

    Multi-Tenant Architecture

    Your platform hosts data for multiple customers in shared infrastructure. Your privacy policy must explain data isolation, access controls, and how you prevent cross-tenant data leaks.

    Data Processing Obligations

    As a data processor under GDPR, you have specific legal obligations. You process data on behalf of your customers, not for your own purposes — this distinction changes everything about your privacy policy.

    API & Integration Access

    Your APIs enable data to flow between your platform and third-party tools. OAuth tokens, webhooks, and integrations create complex data flows that must be documented.

    Sub-Processor Chain

    Your SaaS relies on AWS, Stripe, SendGrid, and dozens of other services. Each one is a sub-processor that your customers have the right to know about under GDPR.

    Enterprise Requirement

    Data Processing Agreements

    Controller-processor relationships may require Article 28 contract terms. Use this section as a requirements checklist; a standard PolicyForge DPA and signature workflow remain on the delivery backlog.

    1

    Scope of Processing

    Define exactly what data you process, why, and how long you retain it. Must distinguish between data you process as a controller (account data) and as a processor (customer data).

    2

    Security Measures

    Document your technical and organizational measures: encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logging, vulnerability management, and incident response procedures.

    3

    Sub-Processor Management

    Document sub-processors, locations, processing roles, and the notice or objection process promised in the governing contract.

    4

    Data Subject Rights

    Define how you assist customers in responding to data subject access requests (DSARs), deletion requests, data portability, and correction requests from their end users.

    5

    Cross-Border Transfers

    Document all international data transfers and the legal mechanisms used: Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, or binding corporate rules.

    6

    Audit Rights & Breach Notification

    Grant customers the right to audit your data processing. Define breach notification timelines (GDPR requires 72 hours) and the process for communicating incidents.

    Sub-Processor Data Flow

    A SaaS product may rely on third-party services that act as sub-processors or other recipients. Build the inventory from contracts, configuration, and current vendor documentation.

    Privacy-policy drafting, DPA requirement guidance, and a reviewable sub-processor inventory in one workflow.

    No credit card required. Standard Enterprise DPA workflow is on the delivery backlog.

    How It Works

    From verified SaaS facts to a reviewed privacy-policy draft in three steps.

    Step 1

    Describe Your SaaS Platform

    Tell us about your data architecture, integrations, and target markets. The workflow organizes the services and data flows you provide into a draft inventory for review.

    Data processing regions
    Key integrations (Stripe, AWS, etc.)
    Target jurisdictions
    Step 2

    AI Generates Your Compliance Suite

    PolicyForge generates an editable privacy-policy draft and organizes DPA requirements and sub-processor facts for review. It does not currently issue a standard executed DPA.

    Step 3

    Publish and Maintain

    Publish through the API, embed code, or hosted URL. Scheduled monitoring can create alerts and draft suggestions for supported changes; you review them before publishing. Version history records prior policy content.
