Website Terms, E-Commerce & Data Privacy

Protect your online storefront like you protect your product.

For beauty, cosmetics, and personal care brands, your website is more than a digital brochure—it’s a sales channel, a data collection point, and a legal touchpoint.

From privacy compliance to refund policies, what you say (and how you say it) online matters.

At tmalaw, we help modern consumer brands create legally sound digital experiences that build trust and reduce risk—without sounding like a robot.

Is This For You?

You might need website and data support if:

  • You sell DTC through your own e-commerce site

  • You collect emails for a newsletter, lead magnet, or waitlist

  • You run product giveaways, sweepstakes, or contests

  • You use tracking tools (like Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or Klaviyo)

  • You work with third-party web developers or e-comm platforms

  • You’ve never had a lawyer review your website terms or privacy policy

Questions brands ask:

“Do I really need Terms & Conditions?”
“What are the data privacy rules for emails or retargeting ads?”
“If I use Shopify or Squarespace, isn’t it covered?”
“Are giveaways and contests even legal?”
“Can I collect phone numbers for SMS marketing?”

We help you answer these questions—then protect you from the risk behind them.

Real Industry Insight

Many beauty and personal care brands focus on product compliance—but forget that every click, scroll, and sign-up on your website is also regulated.

Key areas of risk (and opportunity):

  • Privacy laws: like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or GDPR for global traffic

  • Email and SMS marketing rules: governed by CAN-SPAM, TCPA, and carrier guidelines

  • Refunds, returns, and disclaimers: which impact chargebacks and customer service

  • User-generated content and reviews: especially for regulated claims (like acne or anti-aging)

Whether you're scaling through Klaviyo flows or embedding TikTok UGC, legal strategy should be part of your e-comm strategy.

Our Perspective

We don’t believe in copy-paste legal pages. Your brand deserves better.

Through your service plan, we help you:

  • Draft or review Terms & Conditions that fit your site’s features, shipping, and policies

  • Customize Privacy Policies that align with your data collection practices

  • Navigate global traffic concerns and U.S. state-specific privacy laws

  • Review giveaways, quizzes, or contests for legal compliance

  • Guide web developers and marketing teams on the legal “must-haves” for your next launch

Client Win: Policies Built for Platform Builders

A visionary founder came to us with a bold idea: a curated online marketplace where women-owned brands could shine. Think Amazon—but community-driven, values-led, and built under her brand.

The tech was in motion. Vendors were onboarding. But there were no policies. No Terms of Use. No Privacy Policy. No vendor contracts. No refund, return, or exchange terms. Nothing protecting her, her platform, or the shoppers and sellers who would soon depend on it.

With launch day on the horizon, we got to work.

Through her service plan, we:

  • Drafted platform-wide Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy tailored to her business model

  • Created vendor terms that set clear expectations and legal guardrails for every shop owner

  • Clarified policies on orders, refunds, exchanges, and disputes so her marketplace could scale with confidence

  • Delivered all final docs in ready-to-publish format through our tech platform

The result? A launch that matched her vision—and a business that leads with clarity, not legal guesswork.
