Customer Privacy Policy Compliance

This question asks if you'll follow your customer's specific privacy and data protection rules, not just general laws. Large organizations like universities and enterprises have their own privacy policies that are often stricter than legal requirements. They want to know if you'll respect their additional rules for protecting their users' data.

Refusing to comply with institutional privacy policies immediately disqualifies you from most enterprise deals. These policies are non-negotiable for many organizations due to their own compliance obligations. Agreeing to comply opens doors to lucrative enterprise contracts and demonstrates flexibility that smaller competitors often lack. This willingness to adapt to customer requirements can increase your addressable market by 40% or more.

Companies often agree without actually reading the institutional policies, then discover requirements they can't meet. Another mistake is agreeing to comply but not having systems to track different requirements for different customers - this becomes unmanageable as you scale.
