316: Website Compliance: How To Protect Your Business

316: Website Compliance: How To Protect Your Business

Author: Susan Bradley: E-commerce Expert April 21, 2026 Duration: 30:06

In the last few months, three members of our community — store owners just like you and me —  have faced lawsuits over website compliance. So I sat down with my favorite lawyer, Tannia Ospina, to talk about what you actually need on your website to stay compliant, why it matters more than most of us realize, and how to get it done without it taking over your life.

Three things you'll take away from this episode:

  • Small stores are targeted first, and your store is likely easier to target than you think.

  • Copy-pasting from Google or AI isn't enough.

  • Your existing policies may already be working against you.

 

Tannia is a longtime Inner Circle member, a business law and intellectual property attorney, and a former e-commerce store owner who built her brand Bell Threads from scratch since 2014. She created a legal compliance bundle specifically for product-based e-commerce store owners, and in this episode she breaks down exactly what's at stake and what to do about it. Listen in, and you'll sleep better tonight.
