Plain-language references for the rules our watchlist is built on.
Every article here is a deep-dive companion to a rule code WatchPol already runs on its watchlist. The same source-of-truth language the generators and the scanner use, expanded into the explanations, citation chips, and decision flow a small merchant actually needs.
Evergreen references
One card per regulatory track.
The list grows as the watchlist surfaces new rules. Each article maps to a single rule code and is updated in the same cadence as the watchlist itself.
Privacy · CCPA / CPRA
The four tests that decide if CCPA applies to a small e-commerce seller, where the “Do Not Sell or Share” link has to live, the 12 disclosures §1798.130 requires, and which gaps WatchPol’s /privacy-policy and /cookie-policy generators already close.
Read article →Marketing · FTC Green Guides
A reference companion to the FTC Green Guides at 16 CFR Part 260 — what counts as a verified sustainability claim, the “clear and conspicuous” disclosure tests, and how WatchPol flags carbon-neutral and biodegradable wording in PDP copy.
More references ship as WatchPol’s watchlist surfaces new rules — CCPA / CPRA, FTC Green Guides, GDPR / ePrivacy, ADA / WCAG, and selective U.S. state privacy frameworks.
