IMPORTANT: The default template sample_template_politique_confidentialite is designed for a brochure website without user accounts. If the request concerns an application or platform with users, additional data categories will need to be added, such as:

• User account management (creation, authentication, profile)
• Login data and activity history
• Data generated by application usage
• User-to-user communications (messages, comments, etc.)
• User preferences and settings

Adapt the template according to the platform type (brochure site, e-commerce, SaaS, mobile app, marketplace, etc.).

Drafting Workflow

Step 1: Template Selection (MANDATORY)

NEVER DRAFT A POLICY FROM SCRATCH. Always start from a given template for drafting, either:

• the default template in assets/sample_template_politique_confidentialite.docx;
• another internal template provided by the user.

This template is your base reference. You must:

• Faithfully reproduce the template's structure and wording
• Keep the exact template phrasing (they are validated)
• Only replace placeholders with client information
• Do NOT rewrite sentences even if you think you can phrase them better
• Do NOT add sections that are not in the template

The collected information (T&Cs, site, etc.) is used to fill in the template, not to rewrite it.

1. FIRST ACTION: Confirm the template to use BEFORE any drafting. Ask the user:

"I will draft the privacy policy starting from the provided default template. Do you have an internal template that would be more suitable as a starting point?"

2. Consider the user's choice and select the starting template.

Step 2: Understand the Client's Business

MAIN OBJECTIVE: Truly understand what the client does, their business, the user journey on their platform.

1. Ask the lawyer for available information:

"To draft a perfectly tailored policy, please provide:
- Information you have about the client and their business
- Existing documents (T&Cs, sales conditions, order forms, contracts...)
- Exchanges or key points raised by the client
- The site/application URL (if accessible)
- Points that must absolutely be included according to you

You may anonymize this information if necessary for confidentiality reasons.

The more information you provide, the better adapted the policy will be to the actual case. Otherwise, we will conduct our own research but it will be limited to publicly accessible information."

2. Analyze the documents provided:

3. Additional research on the site (if accessible):

Note: Some sites only display a "Request a quote" form without access to the platform. In that case, rely primarily on the documents provided.

The objective is to understand the business AND identify technical elements:

• Understand what the company actually does
• Read the existing privacy policy (if present)
• Read the existing T&Cs/Legal notices
• Identify the typical user journey (if visible)
• Identify data collection forms (registration, contact, order...)
• Spot cookies/trackers via the banner
• List features (account, newsletter, chat, payment...)

4. Summary before drafting:

CLIENT: [Name]
BUSINESS: [Description in 2-3 sentences]
PLATFORM TYPE: [SaaS, e-commerce, mobile app, etc.]
USER JOURNEY: [Key steps]
DATA COLLECTED: [List by collection point]
COOKIES IDENTIFIED: [Types of cookies spotted]
FORMS: [List of collection points]
KEY LAWYER POINTS: [What must absolutely be included]
SPECIFICITIES: [What makes this case particular]

Once the summary is ready → Proceed to Draft 1

Step 3: Draft 1

ABSOLUTE RULE: The template is your validated base.

• START from the template: structure, wording, tone → this is your reference
• ADAPT to the client case: integrate the specific information collected
• DO NOT rewrite everything: keep the template wording, only adapt what needs to be

In summary: Template + client information = Draft 1. Not a complete rewrite.

Complete the template section by section with the collected information:

1. Identity of the data controller
2. Data collected (by category)
3. Purposes and legal bases (table)
4. Recipients and processors
5. International transfers
6. Retention periods (table)
7. Data subject rights
8. How to exercise rights
9. Cookies and trackers
10. Data security
11. Policy changes
12. Contact

Immediate compliance check: Before presenting Draft 1, verify the mandatory disclosures checklist (Art. 13 GDPR):

• Controller identity and contact details
• DPO contact details (if appointed)
• Processing purposes
• Legal basis for each purpose
• Legitimate interests pursued (if applicable)
• Recipients or categories of recipients
• Transfers outside EU and safeguards
• Retention period or criteria for determination
• Data subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection)
• Right to withdraw consent (if applicable)
• Right to lodge a complaint with the CNIL
• Whether data provision is mandatory/optional
• Existence of automated decision-making (if applicable)

If Draft 1 is compliant → Proceed to Step 3.

Step 4: Deliver Draft 1 + Benchmark + Improvement Suggestions

1. Deliver Draft 1 with explanation:

Here is Draft 1 of the privacy policy.

**What I took into account:**
- [Summary of key elements integrated]
- [Client specificities considered]
- [Particular points mentioned by the lawyer]

**Compliance:** The document meets Art. 13 GDPR requirements.

2. Present the benchmark (systematic):

Research 3-5 privacy policies from companies in the same sector, then present:

**Benchmark conducted:**

I analyzed the privacy policies of:
- [Company 1] - [what we noted]
- [Company 2] - [what we noted]
- [Company 3] - [what we noted]

**Identified possible improvements:**
- [Improvement 1]: [explanation]
- [Improvement 2]: [explanation]
- [Improvement 3]: [explanation]

Would you like to incorporate these elements into the provided Draft?

3. If the lawyer approves improvements → Produce Draft 2.

Step 5: Final Verification

Final review before definitive delivery:

• All Art. 13 GDPR disclosures present
• Client information correctly integrated
• Clear and accessible language
• No internal references (template, sources) in final document
• Update date present
