Monitor Netlify compliance pages

Jamstack hosting platform — static site deployment, edge functions, form handling, and build automation for modern web applications.

Netlify publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Netlify as a processor must continuously verify that "sufficient guarantees" remain in place — which means tracking changes to these pages as they happen. Below are the 4 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
