Legal & Domain Operations (G18)
Why this exists. A single place to track the legal/operational facts that donβt live in code: domain renewals, trademark/IP status, ToS/Privacy-Policy versions per product, business entity + tax registrations, and the third-party data processors weβre accountable for. Without this, a domain silently expires or a privacy obligation is missed. Closes:GAP_REGISTER.mdG18. Companion:BUS_FACTOR.md(operator continuity). π² = operator-only fact to fill in. Review cadence: monthly (Monday review) for renewal dates; quarterly for entity/tax/IP. Domains/zones cross-check againstservice-registry.yml.
1. Domain registry
Domains discovered fromservice-registry.yml on 2026-06-01. Fill in
registrar, renewal date, and auto-renew status β an expired apex domain takes the whole product
offline.
DNS lives at Cloudflare for the active products (zones managed in the adrper79 account).
Registrar (where the domain is bought/renewed) may differ from DNS host β track both.
2. Trademark / IP status
Also track: logo/copyright ownership (esp. any contractor-produced art), and whether any brand name conflicts with an existing registered mark before spending on it.
3. ToS / Privacy Policy version per product
Each customer-facing product needs a published Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, versioned so we know what a user agreed to and when. Ties to the privacy conformance dimension (PLATFORM_STANDARDS.md) and per-app PII_INVENTORY.md.
