Thanks @chrija for hunting us! 👋 I'm Richard, co-founder here at Juro - the contract automation platform. A while back, as a side project we decided to redesign our privacy notice to turn it into a document people could actually read. A document that was: 🏎️ concise 🔎 transparent 🤔 intelligible 👉 easily-accessible This spiralled and led to a 13,000% increase in page views. Which is a lot for a document that no one ever really reads... Now you can grab these design patterns for your website free! We've opened out a GitHub repo where you can access the layout without reinventing the wheel. The repo includes: 💤 a pop-up privacy modal - a same-page summary of the privacy notice 👀 the full privacy notice - a layered document with clickable elements We've tried to make it as dev friendly as possible : ) It's completely free - to use it on your website, you'll just need to customise the text to the specific needs of your business. Check out the readme file for full instructions! Thanks again to everyone who has helped shape this open source privacy policy...and hunters - please let us know what you think! Richard

@chrija @rmabey ah, can’t upvote this enough. Nice job!!
Nathan Kinch
@chrija @rmabey Great you've done this, Richard. What was the baseline for the 13,000% increase? As in, what's the actual behavioural data pre and post?
Robin
@chrija @rmabey @nathankinch I can only agree with Eugene and I would not have thought that with a topic like data protection :D You have made something really valuable which I will use very gladly!

@rmabey Congratulations on the launch! I have added Privacy Policy Template by Juro to curated list of startup tools here - https://startuptoolchain.com/#po...
Richard Mabey
@heavyinfo This is great Abishek - thank you so much!

"I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy". Said no one ever (without lying). ;-) @rmabey and team have changed this a couple of years ago by writing a privacy notice that people could actually read. Now they're making it easy for everyone to do the same!
Richard Mabey
@chrija Thanks so much for hunting us! To validate your point...according to Carnegie Mellon University, if you read all the Ts&Cs you have accepted in your lifetime it would take 76 full days...
Beth Gladstone
I've definitely shared your policy with clients in the past as an example of "best practice" - so very chuffed we can now give it a go ourselves. Thanks for the generosity and great work !
Richard Mabey
@bethgladstone That's great to hear. Looking forward to seeing the final result!
Crafty Counsel
A great innovation from Juro!
Richard Mabey
@craftycounselhq Thank you! It's wonderful to be able to share this design with the community.
Tom Bangay
Absolutely loved working with @rmabey on this project - what could be better than slaying legalese and basking in Stefania Passera's amazing design work?! If you want to make privacy accessible for your company then get started here.
Richard Mabey
@tom_bangay Getting the words right was hard! Balancing preserving the legal meaning with words people actually understand was the key. You nailed it!
Taryn Strong
@rmabey @tom_bangay amazing work both of you!
Christina Pashialis
Thanks for putting this together! Super timing saving for startups trying to get this right
Richard Mabey
@christina_p Was a lot of fun actually! As much fun as you can have with a legal document...
Aleks Bochkov
This is great! Congrats 🚀
Richard Mabey
@bochkovaleks Thank you for the kind words Aleks!
Julia-Carolin Zeng
It's great to have a privacy template that you know you can trust and are allowed to use!
Richard Mabey
@julecaro Thanks for the feedback! We found that there were lots of downloadable templates out there but generally they were just massive chunks of legalese in Word documents. The GDPR actually requires privacy notices to be readable, plain english and easily accessible. But there aren't many policies around where this comes through...
Mike @ Community //
@julecaro thanks Jules :-)
Verity White
A privacy policy that is so awesome, so well loved and admired it was copied blatently by many!! Incredibly generous of Juro and Stefania Passera for gifting this template to the world... excited to test and try it out!!
Richard Mabey
@verity_checklist Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! We're just happy that businesses are keen to make their privacy policies easy to understand for their users.
Jimi Desmet
Nice work! I'm interested to know what sort of feedback you received for the product, do you know if people actually read all this now?
Richard Mabey
Thanks Jimi! In the development stage, we ran a programme of user feedback sessions to select the version that users found the easiest to read. 2 years post-launch, we're still getting 1k views per month which is a pretty good validation of the design :)
Glen Creaser
I wish you came out with this sooner! This will help many people navigate the legal landscape.
Richard Mabey
@glen_creaser Thank you Glen! Hope this is helpful for you and the team at Afino :)
Paul Mit

Joe Barron
A great new product from Juro - recommended for any business that needs to create engaging, readable privacy policies.
Richard Mabey
@joe_barron Thank you for the kind words Joe! Very excited to make this available for those who need it :)
Shahadat Shemul
If you need credit then how can it be open source?
Richard Mabey
@shemul Thanks for the comment, fair point - for this reason, we don't make this a requirement of the legal license at the bottom of the readme file we just ask politely for it!
Rob Millard
Awesome! Thanks Juro :)
Subhendu
Definitely going to use this for my upcoming launch to ship https://www.producthunt.com/my/u... Thank you for this. 😊

Marie Potel
We all know that "I agree" is the biggest lie on the internet. Well, not any more, thanks to the all-star work of Stefania Passera and Juro: they've created an accessible, authentic and enjoyable privacy policy. This is legal design and human-centricity at its best 🌟 Such a gift for the community that they've decided to open-source! 👏 👏
Richard Mabey
@marie_potel Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad to be able to make design-led privacy more accessible for everyone :)
