Note: iOS app v1.29.5+ and Android app v1.30.0+ are needed for these to display in-app.

Summary

You can store legal documents such as terms of service or privacy policies for your events and apps in Backstage.

SpotMe apps will then display these documents (and associated requirements) to app users before they access the app.

Creating a legal document

Legal documents are connected to your organization in Backstage, and can be managed or created from there. To create a legal document:

1. On backstage.spotme.com, click on Manage <my organization name>.
   If you are a part of multiple organizations you'll see a Manage my organizations link.
   
   
2. From the organization page select Legal documents in the sidebar.
   
   
3. At the bottom of the screen click Create a legal document.
   
   
4. Fill in the details of your legal document and click on Create to save it.

Template
Select a template if you are creating a new document from scratch.
If you already have the legal document either as a text (or PDF) or as a web site, choose None.

Title
Enter a title for the document. This will be displayed in-app and in Backstage.

Link
If you have a website that hosts your document, paste it here.

Text
If you do not have a link, you can paste text of your legal document. HTML is supported. (see our template).

Requirements
This is where you define the acknowledgements that app users will need to make. You need to select at least one.
For example: "I accept {{link}}", "I consent to the processing of data as per {{link}}".
Here{{link}} will be replaced with a link to your legal document's text.

For privacy policies our recommendation* is to add following requirements (statements):

• I acknowledge that I have read and agree to {{link}}. I understand I can withdraw my consent for the processing of my personal data at any time.
• I consent to the processing of my personal data for the purposes described in {{link}}.

 These would look as follows in the app:
