Poliogo

The Termly alternative that reads your code

Termly asks you what your product does. Poliogo reads the code and finds out — including the services you forgot you added.

Poliogo vs Termly, side by side

Termly is a policy generator and consent manager aimed at small businesses and marketers, built around a step-by-step guided questionnaire, with a separate cookie scanner for consent. Both tools end up describing what your product does with data — the difference is where that description comes from. Theirs is whatever you tell it, entered by hand and correct only for as long as nothing changes. Ours is read out of the repository.

Why describing your stack by hand misses things

A form or a settings screen can only record what you remember to tell it. That is a fair assumption for a marketing site and a poor one for a product that changes every week — the gap between what a policy claims and what the code does opens the day after you fill it in, and nothing tells you.

  • An AST pass resolves fetch and axios call sites, so a raw HTTP call to api.openai.com is detected even when no SDK was ever installed — the normal case in AI-generated code.
  • Environment variable names are read as evidence and their values never are: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY proves Stripe without anything secret leaving the repo.
  • Every re-scan is diffed against the snapshot your documents were generated from, so a new tracker becomes a pull request rather than a surprise during an audit.

Where Termly is the better choice

We are not the right tool for everyone, and pretending otherwise would waste your afternoon. Termly is the stronger pick when:

  • A far wider catalogue of documents than we generate — EULA, impressum, disclaimer, acceptable use, accessibility statement, return and shipping policies.
  • Built for people who do not have a codebase to point at, which is most of its audience.
  • The questionnaire captures business facts no scanner can infer, like how you handle refunds.
  • An agency programme with bulk licensing for anyone managing many client domains.

What code-first actually changes

The scan is not the feature. What the scan makes possible is.

Evidence instead of recall

AST

Manifests, then an AST pass over the source, then a regex sweep for vendor endpoints. The document is built from what your code calls, not from what you remembered during onboarding.

Drift is caught, not discovered

Every scan is compared against the snapshot your last documents were written from. Adding PostHog on a Tuesday produces a policy update, not a silent inaccuracy.

Updates arrive as pull requests

Free tier

The compliance change shows up in the review flow you already use, with a plain-English diff explaining what changed and which detected service triggered it. Approving is a merge.

It lives in your editor

An MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code and Windsurf. Ask your agent whether the app is compliant and it scans the workspace and answers — no dashboard, no context switch.

AI disclosures, not an afterthought

LLM calls, vector stores and embedding pipelines are detected and turned into the training, retention and automated-decision disclosures the EU AI Act and CPRA ask for.

Read-only, and almost nothing kept

Scoped read access to configuration and dependency files. Source is read in flight and never stored; what persists is a short list of service names.

How it works

1
Connect the repository

GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket — or a hosting account, a no-code platform, or a ZIP upload if there is no repo.

2
Check what it found

A plain-English list of every service, what it does and what data it touches. Nothing is written until you approve it.

3
Merge the pull request

Documents land in the repo. From then on, a stack change opens the next one on its own.
