Termageddon Policy Setup Guide

What is Termageddon?

Termageddon automatically generates and updates your website's legal policies (Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, Cookie Policy, etc.) to keep you compliant with laws like GDPR, CCPA, and CalOPPA. When privacy laws change, your policies update automatically - no action needed from you.

This service is intended to protect your business and keep you legally compliant.


Before You Start

What you'll need:

  • Business name and contact information
  • List of website features you use (contact forms, analytics, email marketing, etc.)
  • 30-60 minutes to complete the questionnaire

Tip: The questionnaire is thorough, but each question includes a help icon to guide you. Answer honestly and completely for the most accurate policies.


Understanding the Setup Process

Termageddon's questionnaire has 8 sections covering:

  • Your business information
  • What data you collect (emails, analytics, cookies, etc.)
  • How you use that data
  • Third-party services you use (Google Analytics, Mailchimp, etc.)
  • Your industry-specific requirements

If you get stuck, Termageddon offers free support. You can also refer to their help guides throughout the process.


Common Policies Explained

Privacy Policy - Required by law if you collect any visitor data (even just website analytics). Explains what data you collect and how you use it.

Terms & Conditions - Protects your business by setting rules for using your website and services.

Cookie Consent - Required in many regions when your site uses cookies (analytics, marketing pixels, etc.). Shows a popup asking visitors to accept cookies.

Disclaimer - Optional policy for specific industries (health, finance, legal) that limits your liability.


After Setup: What to Expect

Automatic Updates - When laws change, Termageddon updates your policies automatically via the embed code on your site. No action needed from you.

Email Notifications - You'll receive emails when significant law changes occur affecting your policies. Keep these emails (don't unsubscribe) to stay informed.

Testing Your Policies - Visit your website in incognito mode to see your policies and cookie consent banner in action.


Making Changes Later

You can update your policies anytime by logging into your Termageddon dashboard:

  1. Log in at app.termageddon.com
  2. Select your website
  3. Click "Edit Questionnaire"
  4. Make your changes and save

When to update:

  • Adding new features (e.g., e-commerce, chatbots)
  • Changing how you collect or use data
  • Adding new third-party services
  • Changing your business information

You can also share dashboard access with team members or attorneys if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need this if I don't collect emails?
Yes. If you use Google Analytics or any tracking tools, you're collecting data and need a Privacy Policy.

Can I customize the policies?
Yes, through your Termageddon dashboard. However, major customizations should be reviewed by an attorney.

What if I add e-commerce later?
Log into your dashboard and update your questionnaire to include e-commerce features. Your policies will automatically regenerate.

What if I have multiple websites?
Each website needs its own Termageddon license. Contact Declet Designs about adding additional sites.

How much does Termageddon cost?
It's included in your website plan with Declet Designs.

Can I use these policies on other websites?
