Your code and your policies,
checked together.
Sooner or later a buyer, their counsel, or an investor asks what your product does with personal data. The true answer lives in your code, and the promise lives in your privacy policy. Most startups find out whether the two agree on the day somebody else checks.
StartupDocs watches the code: connect a GitHub repository and every push is checked against the standards you choose. It also holds the policies that describe it, drafted and checked in the same place. Nothing is written to your code, and nothing changes in a document until you say so.
Connect it, watch it, prove it.
That is the whole loop for a repository. You choose the standards; working out what they ask of your code is our job.

What a monitored repository gets.
£49 per repository a month on a Pro or Team plan, with a monthly spend cap you set. These are automated checks against the standards you pick. They are not an audit and they do not collect evidence for one.

Where the policies live.
The other half of the product. Three panes: your documents, the document you are working on, and the assistant you talk to. The privacy policy, terms, cookie policy and DPA that describe your product are drafted, edited and checked here.
Every document your company has, in folders you control. Versioned from the first save, so nothing is ever lost to an overwrite.
A normal document editor. The highlighted text is a tracked change waiting for you: accept it, or reject it and it never happened.
Where you ask for changes and run checks. It answers with findings and proposed edits, and it writes nothing into the document without showing you first.
Import, prompt, review, export, re-check.
Import what you have
Drop in DOCX, Markdown, or plain text. Everything lands in folders you control, versioned from the first save.

DRAFTING EDITS…
2 tracked changes ready for your review.

Tracked changes
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary. Backups are deleted within 35 days of erasure requests.

Check, and keep checking
Run rulepacks like GDPR and UK DPA before you ship, then again whenever your company details or the rules change. Every affected document gets re-checked, and fixes come back as tracked changes.

ON THE TEAM PLAN
Dispatch an agent for bulk jobs.
Tell an agent to sweep a whole folder: it works through every document, runs the checks, and comes back with fixes for your review. Hundreds of documents, one instruction. Built for teams and agencies managing document sets across clients.
What this is, and what it isn't.
Being clear about the limits is what makes everything above worth believing.

- Issue a SOC 2, ISO 27001, or any other certification
- Write to your repository: access is read-only, always
- Guarantee compliance in any jurisdiction
- File anything with Companies House or HMRC on your behalf
Repositories: GitHub today. Templates are drafted for England & Wales. Standards and rulepacks reach further: UK, EU, and California. Automated checks are not legal advice.
Three more questions.
What is compliance?
If the word means nothing to you yet, start here. What the rules are, who they apply to, and what a check actually does.
What templates are in the library?
Privacy policy to founders' agreement: every template, what it covers, and the settings you control.
What does it cost?
£49 per repository a month on Pro or Team, plans from £19, and what each one includes.
Compliance, checked on every push.
Connect a GitHub repository, choose the standards it is held to, and every push is checked against them. The policies that describe your product are drafted and checked in the same place. Plans are 7 days free, and accounts created now carry a founding member tag.
