What horribly impractical advice. I mean, in theory, sure, but retaining a lawyer because you run a small public service? Nah.

  I think the point being made is that the company shouldn't be making up legally binding agreements (the privacy policy) without consultation.

    And if too small/cheap to have consulted a solicitor, are you really saying none is better than 'made up'? Worst case is what, you miss something you should've included and it bites you? Something you thought covered you turned out not to be binding (because it's otherwise illegal or too narrowly defined or whatever)? Seems to me many small side projects or whatever would do well (and zero harm) to 'make up' user agreements sooner.

      If you are asking for my opinion, I'd suggest not going anywhere near PII without legal consultation.

    Here in the UK you can create and run a company with no lawyers and no accountants. I am originally from Spain where doing anything requires lawyers, notaries, and loads of cash. That results in a petrified business class. I was lucky to have business oriented parents that taught me concepts related to taxation, employment law etc. But I appreciate the LibDem's move years ago to cut paperwork and am happy for it
