@maxwell_anderson UpVoted 🙌 n Congratulations on your Launch 👏 seems very useful tool 🔥
Hi @maxwell_anderson Congratulations on launch of Ketch Free 🚀
Delighted to discover that setting up Ketch Free doesn't require any coding skills.
The simple process of inserting a tag into the website header ensures accessibility for everyone. 🌐✨
@maxwell_anderson@codewithimanshu Yes! Ketch Free includes templates for every major data privacy regulation today, and the Ketch team makes updates to these templates as/when regulations evolve.
@nick_kessler Hah! Short answer, YES.
While the EU is subject to GDPR, the U.S. state privacy law landscape is extremely fragmented. There is no federal regulation, so data privacy laws are being passed on a state-by-state basis. It's near impossible to keep up with the changes! That's why a solution like Ketch Free is so invaluable to website owners with customers in the U.S. Ketch does the work for you, serving the right privacy banners, to the right people, in the right locations.

@nick_kessler Ha! The US has about as many privacy laws as Chick-Fil-A does condiments. There are currently 5 states with enforceable privacy regulations: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia. 7 other states have passed legislation with enforcement dates coming in 2024 and 2025. Even more of a reason to get something like Ketch Free in place today.
@sentry_co if you are using GA with all of its anonymization features, you may be in the clear. The challenge, of course, is whether or not some day it is ruled that Google's anonymization features are still logging personal data or constitute a sale. We have seen many instances in which Google claims to and or believes to be operating on the right side of data privacy, only to be ruled otherwise in Europe. I'd imagine in all practical cases you are fine. But I'd argue why not implement a light weight simple privacy program to be increasingly sure. Why rely on the kindness of strangers?
@maxwell_anderson ATM We reverse engineered GA sdk to be sure google isn't collecting any identifiers they should not be collecting. We made this: https://github.com/sentryco/Tele... And we generated all of the privacy documents etc via GPT. When you say privacy program, beyond the cookie banner do you offer?
@sentry_co I I see. That makes sense. Without looking into the repo and digging in, I couldn't say much more than I have already, but I would imagine you are far beyond the average company in terms of limiting your tracking. With that said, I come from the perspective that companies can and should collect personal data as long as they do so legally, and responsibly. One downside to taking the approach you are taking (I assume), is that you are limiting the collection categorically across jurisdictions. One of the benefits of Ketch is that you can dynamically adjust your collection practices based on the requirements of a specific region. Of course, that is up to you, but just throwing that out there.
Beyond a cookie banner, we offer customer support in collecting and fulfilling data subject rights, delivering privacy reports like a data map, ROPA (required in Europe), conducting risk assessments and managing risk, and a few more areas.
Feel free to reach out if you want to speak more in depth about how Ketch can help you and your team!
@maxwell_anderson Aha I see. Compliance monitoring as a service! That's very useful actually! It's getting increasingly more complex to adjust everything and not mess something up. Definitely will need something like this down the line. What about adding a hock into GitHub action? And get a notification if privacy / legal docs are out of date or something changed? For every release we do, we go through a GitHub action that takes care of unit/UI testing, and checking various things before it's pushed to the app-store for review by apple employees. Some hock for legal compliance would be immensely useful. And a great way to upsell more advance monitoring etc.
@sentry_co Love this idea! We do use github actions today, but I think we could extend it even more to address some of your points. Appreciate the thoughts!

Amazing! I was just researching cookies a few days ago! Is there a way to implement in webflow-made website as well? :-) And by any chance, are you thinking about creating something similar for Terms and conditions (some kind of generator?) :) Congrats on the launch!
@matej_cabadaj thanks for the support and great questions! Yes, it works on webflow sites. In facts we have it deployed on over 50 currently for our enterprise demo environments. It's super simple with webflow. In terms of generating t&c and pp documents, we are absolutely heading in that direction. Our updated experiences launch in Feb and will begin to support exactly these use cases! I hope to hear from you then for feedback!

@matej_cabadaj I second Max's reply. It's really easy to deploy into Webflow. Drop the Ketch Free tag into the Head Code section of the site settings and publish.

Thank you very much!
Privacy compliance when publishing a site is now commonplace.
Reported from time to time that companies are fined for not complying with GDPR.
I was worried that it would take time to respond.
More than just placing banners, this tool exceeds expectations😃
@pawel_tomaszewski Exactly!! With Ketch Free, website owners don't have to remember ANY of these rules. Simply add our tag to your site and we'll automatically serve the right experience to the right user based on their location.
