Privacy Shield by Captain Compliance – Unlike consent tools that shift risk back to you, Captain Compliance financially backs its compliance execution—covering qualifying privacy claims when our platform is properly deployed.
Most consent tools help you display banners.
Captain Compliance goes further. We stand behind compliance.
Compliance Shield is our commitment to financially back qualifying privacy claims and regulatory actions when your site is properly configured and deployed using Captain Compliance’s software and recommended settings.
We don’t just manage compliance. We put skin in the game.
What is Compliance Shield by Captain Compliance?
Compliance Shield is Captain Compliance’s litigation and regulatory protection program designed to reduce—and in qualifying cases, cover—privacy-related financial exposure tied to:
- Consent management
- Cookie disclosures
- Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals
- Consumer rights (DSAR) workflows
- Privacy notice execution
When Captain Compliance is properly implemented and used as intended, we assume financial responsibility for qualifying privacy claims arising from those compliance functions.
Why This Matters
Most privacy tools stop at implementation and shift all downstream risk back to the business.
That means:
- You pay for the software
- You follow the guidance
- You still carry the full litigation and regulatory risk
Compliance Shield changes that dynamic.
If our platform fails to protect you when deployed correctly, we don’t walk away—we stand behind it.
What’s Covered (Qualifying Claims)
When eligibility requirements are met, Compliance Shield can cover financial exposure related to:
- Regulatory enforcement actions (e.g., privacy regulators, attorneys general)
- Fines or penalties tied to consent, notice, or data-rights execution
- Private litigation alleging improper consent or disclosure
- Claims arising from cookie deployment, tracking disclosures, or opt-out enforcement
- GPC signal handling when enabled and supported
Coverage applies only to compliance functions actively managed and enforced through Captain Compliance. So if you have a breach unrelated to us that is not covered but if you are using our tools and you receive a fine or demand letter related to what we’re protecting for you we will cover it for you.
How Coverage Works
Compliance Shield is not vague “peace of mind.” It is tied to technical enforcement.
Coverage applies when:
- Captain Compliance is properly installed
Scripts, banners, policies, and DSAR tools must be live and functioning. - Recommended settings are enabled
Including geo-adaptive consent logic, GPC handling, and supported regional frameworks. - The platform is not bypassed or overridden
Custom code, manual trackers, or third-party overrides that conflict with our controls may void eligibility. - Use remains lawful
Coverage does not apply to illegal activity, deceptive practices, or intentional circumvention of privacy laws.
If those conditions are met, we financially back the compliance execution.
What Makes This Different
| Typical Consent Tool | Captain Compliance + Compliance Shield |
|---|---|
| Provides banners | Enforces compliance |
| Shifts liability to customer | Shares financial risk |
| “Best effort” guidance | Backed execution |
| No claim support | Litigation-aware posture |
Compliance Shield aligns incentives.
If compliance breaks, we are accountable too.
What’s Not Covered (Important)
To be transparent and responsible, Compliance Shield does not cover:
- Illegal activity or intentional violations
- Use of unsupported trackers or data flows outside the platform
- Misrepresentation, fraud, or deceptive practices
- Claims unrelated to privacy compliance execution
- Configurations that materially deviate from recommended settings
- Activity occurring before deployment or after removal
This ensures the program protects good-faith compliance—not misuse.
