Monitor Paddle compliance pages

Merchant of record for SaaS businesses — handles payments, subscription billing, tax compliance, and invoicing in 200+ countries.

Paddle publishes several compliance and legal pages that change over time. Under GDPR Article 28, data controllers using Paddle 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 3 most relevant pages, what typically changes on each, and ready-to-paste monitoring prompts.
