Policy & Compliance Drift Watch

Your terms, privacy, and accessibility pages get diffed weekly so an unnoticed change never sits live for months.

What it watches

Your legal and policy pages for any content change, weekly

What it does

Diffs each page against its last version and reports exactly what changed, word for word

When it asks a human first

Any detected change on a legal or policy page is reported immediately, outside the weekly digest — approving the new wording is always your call. Once you’ve reviewed a flagged change, it’s marked acknowledged and stops resurfacing in later weekly runs — only a further edit on top of it triggers a fresh alert.

How it works

  1. 1
    Crawls weekly

    Visits your defined legal and policy pages — terms, privacy, accessibility, refund policy — on a weekly schedule. You can tighten any single page to a daily check instead — useful for one under active legal review — without switching the whole watch list to that cadence.

  2. 2
    Diffs against the last version

    Compares the current text word-for-word against the last stored version, not just checking the page still loads. It strips out dynamically injected content first — a cookie-consent banner, a "last updated" timestamp that changes on every load — so those never register as a false content change.

  3. 3
    Flags any change

    Any detected change — a single sentence or a full rewrite — is reported immediately, not batched into a monthly summary. A change to a single number — a notice period, a refund window, a liability cap — is called out specifically in the alert, not folded into a generic "text changed" line that leaves you re-reading the whole page to find it.

  4. 4
    Highlights what changed

    Shows the exact diff, added and removed text side by side, so you never have to reread the whole page to find it. The diff keeps the surrounding paragraph for context, not just the bare changed line, so you can judge intent — a clarifying edit versus a substantive policy change — without opening the live page separately.

  5. 5
    Never edits the wording

    It only reports — approving or drafting the new legal wording stays entirely with you or your counsel. It also keeps every prior version on file indefinitely, so if a change ever needs tracing back to exactly when your terms said something different, that record already exists rather than needing reconstruction after the fact.

What triggers it

  • · Weekly scheduled crawl of your legal and policy pages
  • · Any word-for-word change detected since the last crawl
  • · A new page matching a policy-page pattern (privacy, terms) appears
  • · A page that was crawled last week returns a 404

What you get

  • · A word-for-word diff of what changed on each policy page
  • · A weekly report even when nothing changed — proving the watch is active
  • · An immediate alert for any change, not batched to the digest
  • · An archived version history of every crawled page

Not the right fit if

Not for businesses without a real legal or compliance surface — a site with no terms, privacy policy, or regulated claims has nothing to drift. It’s also not a fit if your legal pages sit behind a login or client portal rather than the public site — the crawler works against publicly reachable URLs, not authenticated areas it would need separate credentials to enter.

The math

At ~8 page checkeds/mo × 10 min, that is roughly 1.3 h/mo — an estimate, not a guarantee.

Frequently asked

No — it only reports what changed. Drafting or approving policy language stays with you or your counsel.

No — that use case belongs to the separate Competitor & Price-Watch agent. This one watches only your own pages.

It flags the 404 on the old URL and asks you to confirm the new location so the watch does not silently break.

SEO Health watches technical and ranking signals; this one watches legal-page wording specifically, word for word.

HTML pages are the default; a policy that only exists as a downloadable PDF needs a specific setup step to include, since a PDF doesn’t crawl the same way a live page does.
