About this course
Compliance can feel like a maze of acronyms and legal jargon, but it does not have to be. In this course, I walk you through the essentials of GDPR, KYC and AML, country-specific regulation, and privacy policy writing, using plain language and real-world examples relevant to small businesses, freelancers, and independent creators.
My name is Badger, and I work as a Compliance and Regulation Specialist with Team Legal. My goal here is not to turn you into a lawyer, but to give you a solid, methodical foundation so you can recognize compliance risks early, ask the right questions, and build habits that protect both you and the people you work with.
This course is built for people who are new to the topic. We move step by step, from understanding why compliance matters at all, to drafting your first privacy policy, to knowing when KYC/AML rules apply to you, and how to approach the fact that rules differ from country to country. Throughout, I will remind you when it is time to bring in a qualified professional, because this course gives you understanding and direction, not a substitute for legal advice.
