Website Trust Audit · Privacy · Accessibility · AI chatbots

Find privacy risks before regulators do.

Why it matters

Your website makes privacy promises. If it doesn’t do what they say, that gap is your risk.

  • 23 statesnow have comprehensive privacy laws, and GDPR / UK GDPR apply when you serve EU or UK visitors.1
  • Trackers & pixelsthat your policy doesn’t mention can lead to complaints, fines and lawsuits. The FTC has acted against health-data sharing through pixels.2
  • 1 in 4+ adultsin the U.S. has a disability, a market with about $674B in disposable income. Accessible sites reach more clients.3
  • U.S. & EUBy April 2027, larger U.S. state and local governments must meet WCAG under the ADA. In the EU, the European Accessibility Act has applied to e-commerce, banking and other digital services since June 2025. Accessibility is becoming the baseline.4

Clients share sensitive details with you; clear, accurate notices earn that trust. Fixing gaps now costs far less than answering a complaint later. Sources: 1 IAPP, 2026 · 2 FTC (GoodRx, 2023) · 3 CDC, AIR, 2026 · 4 Jackson Lewis, 2026, European Commission

We read your privacy policy, terms, cookie and health notices side by side, quote the exact language that creates risk, and hand you corrected wording plus a clear Remediation Roadmap for 2026–2027.

Want it done for you?

Our $2,000 option adds either a new accessible website with every privacy and accessibility fix built in, or full remediation of your current site, keeping your existing design.

[01] Audits

Six lenses on every engagement.

Every engagement ends in a Website Trust Audit Snapshot: what your documents actually say, where they contradict each other, and exactly what to change.

01

CCPA & US state privacy

CCPA/CPRA and its 2026 regulations, Texas TDPSA, Colorado, Virginia and other state laws: notices at collection, rights requests, “sell/share,” ad tech and Global Privacy Control.

02

GDPR & UK GDPR

Lawful bases, Article 13/14 transparency, retention, processors and international transfer mechanisms, plus cookie consent for European users.

03

HIPAA & health data

Notice of Privacy Practices, BAA references, tracking pixels on health pages and state consumer health data laws such as Washington’s MHMDA.

04

Conflicts & Remediation Roadmap

Where your policy, terms and notices disagree, with exact replacement language and an 8-step plan for laws taking effect in 2026 and 2027.

05

WCAG / Section 508 accessibility

Section 508 and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA review of your site and forms, covering ADA Title II and III, EN 301 549 and the European Accessibility Act, with a prioritized remediation list.

06

AI chatbot review

If your site has an AI chatbot or assistant: bot disclosure, whether your privacy notice covers chat data, chat-widget trackers and vendors, sensitive health, legal or financial details typed into chats, and risky or bad advice.

[02] Review

Clause-by-clause review.

Our privacy policy audit checks every footer document line by line: dates, rights, transfers, health data, cookies. Items that pass are ticked; items that fail are quoted and flagged so nothing is left to interpretation.

[03] Workflow

From flagged clause to fixed clause.

Each finding moves through the same path: locate the document, isolate the risky sentence, then write replacement wording you can hand to counsel.

[05] Sample engagements · illustrative

Sample engagements

Illustrative scenarios showing the kinds of gaps a Website Trust Audit Snapshot is built to find. These are examples, not client case studies, and include no client names or results.

Illustrative scenario

Healthcare SaaS: HIPAA / BAA gap

A health tech platform says it is HIPAA compliant, but its Privacy Policy never mentions Business Associate Agreements and its marketing pages load ad pixels near appointment forms.

  • Typical findings: missing BAA reference, pixels on health pages, NPP vs. Privacy Policy conflict
  • Deliverable: quoted language, corrected wording, Remediation Roadmap
Illustrative scenario

AI startup: GDPR transfers

An AI product serves EU users and routes prompts to US model providers, but its notice names no transfer mechanism and its terms reserve broad rights to train on customer content.

  • Typical findings: no SCC/DPF basis stated, training-use conflict between policy and terms, unclear retention
  • Deliverable: transfer language, aligned AI-use clause, 2027 readiness steps
Illustrative scenario

Marketplace: undated policy

A marketplace’s Privacy Policy promises a “last updated” date that never appears, while its checkout notice says data is never shared and ad tags run on that same page.

  • Typical findings: missing effective date, checkout vs. policy conflict, no opt-out link or GPC support
  • Deliverable: corrected wording for a dated policy, aligned notices, Do Not Sell/Share fix
Illustrative scenario

AI chatbot: outdated answers

A clinic’s website chatbot learns from the site’s own pages, so when the privacy policy and FAQ are out of date, the bot confidently repeats old data-sharing, retention and cancellation terms to visitors as if they were current.

  • Typical findings: no AI disclosure, bot quoting outdated policy terms, chat data not covered in the privacy notice
  • Deliverable: corrected source-page wording, chatbot disclosure wording, retest checklist

FAQ

Website Trust Audit questions

What does a CerteCerto privacy audit review?

Your public-facing privacy policy, terms, cookie and health notices, plus observable site behavior such as third-party ad trackers, pixels, cookies, tags and network requests that load in the background. We also review any public-facing AI chatbot or assistant on your site: whether it discloses that it is AI, whether your privacy notice covers chat data, chat-widget trackers, how sensitive data typed into chats is handled, and risky advice. Leakage testing is done only with your written permission. We do not review your internal data handling, internal systems or internal practices.

See a sample Website Trust Audit Snapshot

Which laws and standards does it cover?

CCPA/CPRA and other US state privacy laws, GDPR and UK GDPR, HIPAA and state consumer health data laws, and accessibility under Section 508 and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA.

What do I receive?

A full Website Trust Audit Snapshot by email: each finding quotes the problem language, explains why it matters, gives the exact language that should be there, and ends with a Remediation Roadmap: 8 prioritized steps for 2026–2027. With the $2,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot + New Website option, we also do the work for you: either a new accessible website with all privacy and accessibility fixes built in, or full remediation of your current site that keeps its existing design, plus up to 2 rounds of revisions requested by email; additional changes are not included.

How much does it cost, and do I need a call?

There are two one-time options paid through Stripe, with no subscription: the $1,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot (the full report, delivered within 1 business day), or the $2,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot + New Website (the Website Trust Audit Snapshot plus either a new accessible website with all privacy and accessibility fixes built in, or full remediation of your current site that keeps its existing design). No calls or meetings are required; you give us your company name and email, and everything is delivered by email.

Do you review AI chatbots?

Yes, at no extra cost in both the $1,000 and $2,000 options, if your site has an AI chatbot or assistant. We check that visitors are told they are chatting with AI, that your privacy notice covers chat data, that chat-widget trackers and vendors are disclosed, how sensitive health, legal or financial details typed into chats are handled, and whether the bot gives risky or bad advice. Data leakage probes are run only with your prior written permission and only on the public chatbot. Findings are a review, not a guarantee.

Is this legal advice?

No. The Website Trust Audit Snapshot is informational only and not legal advice. You can hand the corrected wording to your counsel.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CerteCerto (“we,” “us”), a website privacy and accessibility review company based in Texas, USA, handles personal information collected through this website, certecerto.com. Questions: Brianna@certecerto.com.

1. What we collect

Only what you type into the signup form: company name and email address, plus whether you checked the optional marketing box and the date and time of your submission. If you email us, we receive what you send. We do not ask for, and ask you not to send through this form, health information, payment details, or other sensitive data.

Our hosting provider automatically processes standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and request time) in server logs to deliver and secure the site. We do not use these logs to profile you.

2. Cookies, tracking and analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless service, to count visits and see which pages are viewed; it doesn’t use cookies or track you across sites. Apart from that, this site uses no advertising pixels, session recording, or other non-essential cookies or trackers, and loads no other third-party scripts or fonts. Because no non-essential cookies are set, there is no cookie banner. If this ever changes, we will update this policy and ask for consent where the law requires it before any non-essential cookie is set.

3. Why we use it, and our legal bases

PurposeDataGDPR / UK GDPR lawful basis
Respond to your audit request, confirm scope, and send a proposalCompany name, emailSteps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Send occasional privacy-law updates and service newsEmail, company nameYour consent, only if you check the optional box (Art. 6(1)(a)). Withdraw anytime.
Keep records of consent and opt-outs; protect the site and prevent abuseSubmission record, server logsLegal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) and legitimate interests in security and proving compliance (Art. 6(1)(f))

We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Who processes it for us

We do not sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. We use these service providers (processors), who may handle data only on our instructions:

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or as part of a business sale or reorganization, subject to this policy.

5. International transfers

We are based in the United States, and our providers may process data in the US or the EU. Where personal data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland is transferred to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the provider’s certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, where available.

6. How long we keep it

7. Your rights

Everyone: you can ask us to access, correct or delete your information, or to stop sending marketing, by emailing Brianna@certecerto.com. Every marketing email includes a working unsubscribe link, and we honor opt-outs promptly (within 10 business days, as CAN-SPAM requires).

EEA/UK residents (GDPR / UK GDPR): rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests; to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing; and to complain to your local data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

US state residents (including California, Texas, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Oregon and other states with comprehensive privacy laws, where they apply to us): rights to know/access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of sale, targeted advertising and profiling. We do not sell or share personal information or engage in targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of, but you may still send a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

How to submit a request: email Brianna@certecerto.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” We will verify your request by confirming control of the email address involved and respond within the legally required time (generally 45 days under US state laws and one month under GDPR, which may be extended where allowed). You may use an authorized agent where the law allows. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying with the subject “Appeal”; we will answer within the time your state law requires, and if you are not satisfied you may contact your state attorney general.

8. Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar browser opt-out signals as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing. Because we do not sell or share personal information, the practical effect is that we will never begin doing so for a browser sending that signal.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including HTTPS encryption in transit and access limited to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and regulators as applicable law requires.

10. Children

This site is for businesses and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes

We will post any changes here with a new effective date. If we make a material change, we will notify people on our list by email before it takes effect.

Terms of Use

Effective date: October 12, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of certecerto.com (the “Site”), operated by CerteCerto (“we,” “us”). By using the Site or submitting the signup form, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Not legal advice

CerteCerto is a website privacy and accessibility review company, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. Content on the Site and in any Website Trust Audit Snapshot or other deliverable is informational and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney. No attorney-client relationship is created. You should have counsel review any changes before you adopt them.

2. Orders and payment

Purchase. A Website Trust Audit Snapshot costs a one-time fee of $1,000 (USD), paid through Stripe. Your Website Trust Audit Snapshot (a report of findings with corrected wording; it does not include rewritten policy pages) is delivered by email to the address you provide within 1 business day of payment. The Website Trust Audit Snapshot + New Website option costs a one-time fee of $2,000 (USD), paid through Stripe, and adds, at your choice, either a new accessible website with all privacy and accessibility fixes built in, or full remediation of your current website that keeps its existing design, delivered within 5 business days (the Website Trust Audit Snapshot itself arrives within 1 business day), and includes up to 2 rounds of revisions requested by email; additional changes are not included. No calls or meetings are required. Refunds: If you email Brianna@certecerto.com with a refund request within 24 hours after your Website Trust Audit Snapshot is delivered, we will refund 50% of the amount you paid (after any discount). Requests made more than 24 hours after delivery are not eligible for a refund. For the $2,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot + New Website option, if you email Brianna@certecerto.com with a refund request within 2 business days after your new website (or remediated website) and Website Trust Audit Snapshot are delivered, we will refund 50% of the amount you paid (after any discount). Requests made after that window are not eligible for a refund. Prices may change for future orders. Audits review only public-facing policies and observable site behavior as of the review date, including third-party ad trackers, pixels, cookies, tags and network requests that load in the background and aren’t visible on the page. We do not review your internal data handling, internal systems, or internal practices, and we don’t access private systems or internal data; laws and your practices change, and we do not guarantee that any document is or will remain compliant.

AI Chatbot Review. If your website has an AI chatbot or assistant, both the $1,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot and the $2,000 Website Trust Audit Snapshot + New Website include an AI Chatbot Review at no extra cost. The review covers: whether users are told they are chatting with AI; whether your privacy notice covers chat data; whether chat-widget trackers and vendors are disclosed; how sensitive information (such as health, legal or financial details) typed into chats is handled; and whether the chatbot gives risky or bad advice. Data leakage testing is performed only with your prior written authorization, is limited to the public, front-end chatbot available to website visitors, and never includes attempts to access your systems, accounts, back-end data or internal tools. If we do not receive written authorization, leakage testing is skipped and the rest of the review proceeds. Findings are an informational review as of the review date, not a guarantee, certification or legal advice, and chatbot responses can vary over time. You remain responsible for the configuration, settings and contracts of your chatbot vendor and any changes made to them.

Policy wording and website pages. The corrected wording in the Website Trust Audit Snapshot, and any privacy policy, terms or cookie pages we build into a new or remediated website under the $2,000 option, are informational only and not legal advice. You should have your own counsel review them before publishing them on your website.

3. Your submissions

You agree to provide accurate information, to submit only on behalf of a company you are authorized to represent, and not to submit sensitive personal data, protected health information, or confidential third-party information through the form.
