A Complete Solution For Total Web Compliance
Personally Identifiable Info (PII)
In today's world, data is collected and sold in the virtual black market, making privacy a top concern. Any business that collects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) must have a Privacy Policy in place or face liability. This includes businesses that use Contact Forms, Email Newsletters, Account Creation, and Analytic Programs, as they collect PII.
Fines for Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with privacy laws can lead to fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, depending on the specific law that is violated. This means that if your website lacks a cookie consent banner or a privacy policy, you can be fined for each instance of non-compliance. It's important to take privacy laws seriously and ensure that your website is in compliance to avoid potential fines and legal action.
Privacy Laws Don't Protect Businesses
Privacy laws exist to protect the personal information of individuals and prevent unauthorized access or misuse of their Personally Identifiable Information (PII). These laws are not intended to benefit businesses, but rather to ensure that consumers have control over their own personal data.
Privacy Policies Across Different Locations
Depending on the location of your customers, you may be subject to the privacy policies of their respective jurisdictions. For instance, in the United States, privacy bills may have extraterritorial applicability beyond the states in which they are passed. This means that even if your business is not physically located in a particular state, you may still be subject to the state's privacy laws if you collect personal information from individuals located in that state.
Privacy Laws Change Regularly
With the absence of a federal privacy law, states are implementing their own policies to protect individuals' online privacy, leading to more than a dozen privacy bills currently under consideration across the country, making compliance a complex task. Even with a lawyer on retainer, staying compliant can still be a daunting and expensive task, requiring thousands of dollars in legal work. Don't risk fines and legal troubles, let Termageddon simplify the process for you and ensure that your website stays compliant with privacy laws worldwide.
You Have Full Control
Once Affordic activates your Termageddon license on your website, we will provide you with access to the Termageddon portal. This will allow you, our client, to make any necessary changes or updates to the policies generated by the platform. Please note that Affordic will not maintain these policies for you; we will only generate the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Cookie Consent Solution. It is your responsibility to ensure that your website's Terms and Conditions and other policies are written to your specifications. Fortunately, no coding is required, and you can easily update these policies on the Termageddon website.
Modern Websites and Application Features Require a Cookie Policy
Determining whether your website requires a Cookie Policy under privacy laws can be a challenging task. However, Termageddon's Privacy Policy generator makes it easier to identify the applicable privacy laws for your website. The tool evaluates how your website operates and notifies you if a Cookie Policy is necessary.
It is essential to note that if your website utilizes features such as Google Analytics, Recaptchas, Video Embeds, Ad Tracking, CRM Integrations, Email Marketing Integrations, a Facebook Tracking Pixel, or even Google Fonts, you are required to have a Cookie Policy in place.
With Affordic's use of Termageddon, we will ensure that your website remains compliant by generating a Cookie Policy on your behalf. We will ensure that any cookie used on your website is adequately disclosed to your users.

Cookie Consent Solution
Having a cookie consent banner on your website can help you comply with privacy laws such as GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and CPRA. Whether you refer to it as a banner, wall, tool, popup, notification, or management platform, having a cookie consent solution is essential to ensure your website's compliance with privacy regulations.
Each Termageddon install comes with a cookie consent solution powered by Usercentrics and their Consent Management Platform (CMP). Before launching your website into production, Affordic will validate it using the Usercentrics CMP. This process helps us determine which cookies are running on your website so we can properly disclose them to your users.
Usercentrics is EU-based, which is important for GDPR compliance, and is WCAG 2.1 AA certified. The platform powers nearly a million websites, making it a trusted and reliable solution for cookie consent management.
*Please note that if your website consistently exceeds 20,000 website sessions in a month, you will need to upgrade to a paid Usercentrics subscription.
Give Your Attorney Something To Do
Using Termageddon to generate legal policies automatically is a great way to save time and money. However, it's important to note that these policies should still be reviewed by legal counsel to ensure they meet your specific needs and provide adequate protection. With access to the Termageddon portal, your attorney can easily review and override any of the automatically generated policies with the click of a button. This can save you money in legal fees as your attorney can use the generated policies as a base and simply add any additional protections as needed.
