Terms of service and privacy policies should be updated whenever the business changes
Hello, this is Legal Agent.
This English page is prepared together with the Japanese article for readers who prefer English. LegalAgent is an AI Native Law Firm focused on corporate legal work, startup legal support, M&A support and practical legal outsourcing for modern companies.
Overview
This article explains why terms of service and privacy policies should be reviewed when services, pricing, data flows, AI features or customer relationships change.
Key points
- Business changes often require changes to terms and privacy policies
- Terms cannot always be changed freely without process or notice
- Consumer-facing services may require consumer law and e-commerce checks
- AI features make input data, logs and training-use explanations especially important
Practical perspective
In practice, this topic should be reviewed together with the transaction structure, internal approval flow, counterparty relationship, business priority and risk tolerance. Generative AI can support initial organization, comparison and drafting, but attorneys or the legal team should remain responsible for final legal judgment.
