Small US companies that collect personal data through a website and have no privacy team
Not enterprises with a data protection officer, and not law firms: this product explains no law and gives no advice
Count it, publish it, then prove you answered
- The count
- What the document actually has to cover A privacy policy owes a disclosure for every category you collect, every purpose you use it for and every regime you are in scope for. The sample firm here reaches 15 before anybody writes a sentence, and 35 category-by-purpose statements it has to be able to defend.
- The clock
- Counted from receipt, not from when you noticed California gives 45 days from receipt of the request, extendable once by another 45 with notice. The EU gives one month, extendable by two further months. Both run from the day it arrived, which is why the receipt date is the first thing the record holds.
- The record
- What you searched, what went out, and when An inbox folder proves an email exists. A request record proves you searched the systems you said you searched, released what you said you released, and did it inside the deadline. Only one of the two answers the question anybody asks afterwards.
Dsarvo against the way most small companies do this
Almost nobody starts with software. They start with a generated policy from three years ago and an inbox folder, and it works until the first request that has to be evidenced.
What you set up first
Dsarvo: Nothing. The builders work before you have an account
A generated policy and an inbox folder: Nothing either, which is the appeal and the problem
Where the deadline lives
Dsarvo: Against the request, counted from its receipt date
A generated policy and an inbox folder: In somebody's head, or a calendar reminder set after the fact
What you can produce later
Dsarvo: The search, the release, the approver and the date
A generated policy and an inbox folder: An email thread, if nobody has left the company since
What it does not do
Dsarvo: No risk register, no control testing, no legal advice
A generated policy and an inbox folder: None of those either
The difference is not the document. It is whether, six months later, you can show what you searched and the date you answered.

- Free Cookie policy template 20Rows the cookie table needs
- Free Data processing agreement template 7Vendors still owed a signed agreement
- Free Privacy policy checklist 13Statements nobody has checked this year

Dsarvo Pro
$10
per month, whole team
Dsarvo Pro turns an inbox thread into a record you can produce
The builders tell you what you owe. Pro is for the day somebody asks you to prove you answered: the request, the search, the approval and the date, kept together instead of scattered across an inbox.
- Download the document as a file you can edit, circulate and keep.
- Your document without our name on the footer of every page.
- Keep this document, with its version number and the date it was published.
- Your company's name and logo on the document instead of ours.
- Send the answer to the person who asked, from inside the workspace, so the date it went is the date on the record.
Free for 14 days. No card needed.
