Operational Transparency & Legal Suite

Status Page — Live Health Checks

The status page now shows real-time service health, not static placeholders.

• New /v1/health API endpoint — checks database, email (SES), and authentication
• Live latency display — see actual response times for each service
• Auto-refresh — status updates every 30 seconds
• Graceful degradation — handles failures without breaking the page

Legal Pages — Complete Rewrite

Every legal page has been rewritten in plain language with proper UK GDPR compliance.

New Pages

• /cookies — explains our privacy-first approach and Umami analytics
• /sub-processors — lists GCP, AWS SES, and Stripe with data locations
• /security — infrastructure, application, and operational security details

Rewritten Pages

• /privacy — proper legal basis structure, data retention table, ICO complaint process
• /terms — subscription billing, API usage terms, data export rights

All pages now cross-link and share consistent voice: clear, technical, no legalese.

Footer Refresh

• Dynamic version — pulls latest from changelog, no more manual updates
• New Documentation column — links to Getting Started, Core Concepts, API Reference, Guides, Integrations
• Month + Year copyright — “February 2026” instead of just year
• Removed logo — header follows on scroll anyway
• Legal column — Privacy, Terms, Sub-processors, Cookies, Security

Philosophy

“If it’s not observable, it’s not reliable.”

The status, transparency, and changelog pages now form a coherent ops trinity. The legal pages communicate trust through restraint — no tracking cookies means no cookie banner, and we explain exactly why.
