Question 1

What does Smolde actually do?

Accepted Answer

Smolde checks whether your privacy policy, terms of service, AI disclosures, and vendor/subprocessor disclosures still match what your product actually does. Every time you add a vendor, ship an AI feature, or change a data flow, those documents can quietly go out of date. Smolde flags the gaps so you know before a procurement review or diligence call does.

Question 2

What kinds of product changes make docs go stale?

Accepted Answer

The most common triggers are: adding a new third-party vendor or analytics tool, integrating an LLM or AI service, changing how you store or share user data, expanding to a new market or customer type, adding a new pricing tier or subscription feature, and shipping a workflow that processes sensitive data. Any of these can create a mismatch between what your docs say and what the product actually does.

Question 3

Who is Smolde for?

Accepted Answer

Smolde is built for B2B SaaS teams that ship frequently, especially teams that have recently added AI features, new vendors, or changed data flows and want to make sure their privacy policy, terms, and disclosures still hold up. It is particularly useful if you are facing procurement reviews, diligence conversations, or enterprise customers who ask how your docs stay current.

Question 4

Do I need to connect GitHub or share code?

Accepted Answer

No. The check works from your answers about what you ship, which vendors and AI tools you use, and what recently changed. No repo access, no code review, no credentials required. GitHub integration is a future option for teams that want automated detection, but it is not required to get useful output.

Question 5

Why not just use a lawyer once a year?

Accepted Answer

A lawyer can write accurate docs at a point in time, and that is valuable. Smolde is useful for what happens between those reviews. When you add a vendor in March, ship an AI feature in June, and change your pricing model in September, your docs can fall out of date three times before your next annual review. Smolde flags those gaps as they happen. The two are complementary, not competing.

See if your privacy policy, terms, and disclosures still match your product.
