Subnotice — Subscription Compliance Checker (UK/US/EU)
·
Scan your policy text against UK, US, and EU subscription-renewal rules and get a 0-100 readiness score with fix notes.
Subnotice checks your store against three subscription-renewal compliance regimes, auto-detected from your WooCommerce store country (override any time):
- UK — the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA) subscription contracts regime: clear pre-contract information, renewal reminder notices, easy cancellation, cooling-off rights. Enforcement expected from Spring 2027.
- US — state-level Automatic Renewal Laws (e.g. California, New York, Connecticut’s annual-reminder rule). Not a federal FTC compliance check — there is no single federal auto-renewal statute currently in force.
- EU — the withdrawal-button requirement under Directive 2023/2673, in force EU-wide since 19 June 2026. This check is structural (declared yes/no/unsure), since a withdrawal button is a UI mechanism, not something policy text can confirm.
What this plugin does (v1)
- Auto-detects your jurisdiction from your WooCommerce store country, or lets you pick manually
- UK/US: auto-detects your WordPress Privacy Policy page and WooCommerce Terms & Conditions page (or accepts pasted text) and scores the wording
- EU: asks two structural questions (withdrawal button present? two-step confirmation?) since there’s no policy text to parse
- Shows fix notes for anything pending
What this plugin does not do
- Does not read your live checkout or billing flow — policy text/declared setup only
- Not legal advice — informational scoring only
- Does not send reminder emails or store any subscription/customer data — this plugin is a one-time/on-demand policy-text scan only
Privacy Policy
When you click “Check my compliance”, the policy text you paste (or the auto-detected page content) is sent to Subnotice’s hosted scoring API at subnotice.com over HTTPS, for scoring only. No data is stored by Subnotice — each scan is stateless.
