    Regulation, including GDPR, consumer law and privacy, presents a barrier to entry to implementing Web Monetization standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop a suite of legal texts including a template for generating a GDPR record of processing, a privacy policy, a generic terms of use, and consumer terms for using Web Monetization Standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop them in the open, and make them available under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. We want people implementing Web Monetization to concentrate on providing excellent content and a great user experience, and not have to waste time and resources on unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming routes to compliance with legal regulation.
