Legal, procurement, and privacy teams are under pressure to move fast—but also to protect the business from AI risk, regulatory violations, and privacy gaps. Reviewing every vendor contract like a law firm associate isn’t scalable.
That’s why we built an AI prompt designed to review contracts and privacy policies for legal and privacy risks—before you sign.
Whether you’re onboarding a vendor or evaluating a new tool with unclear data usage terms, this 172-word prompt acts like your AI-powered junior counsel—fast, detailed, and consistent.
What the AI Prompt Does
Before you approve that next AI vendor agreement, ask yourself the five questions every GC, privacy leader, and regulator is thinking about:
- Can the vendor train their models on your data?
- Are profiling or inference decisions clearly disclosed and limited?
- Is there a retention and deletion policy you’d stand behind in court?
- Are sub-processors—including downstream AI vendors—listed and capped?
- Does the privacy policy actually match the DPA or contract language?
With this prompt, you can paste in the full text of a contract, privacy policy, or DPA, and the prompt analyzes it for:
- Legal and privacy risks
- Missing or vague language that could expose your company
- Suggested redlines or improvements you can negotiate
- An overall AI risk score (0–100) to help you prioritize reviews
- An executive summary of next steps—like requesting a DPIA or updating contract terms
Who This AI Prompt Is For
This prompt is built for:
- Legal teams who need a faster first pass before escalating to outside counsel
- Privacy leaders working to implement AI governance frameworks
- Procurement teams managing risk in vendor onboarding
- Security teams reviewing contracts with a privacy lens
It’s fast enough to use during intake, and smart enough to catch issues buried deep in the fine print.
The AI Prompt You Can Copy and Paste
You are acting as General Counsel for a company evaluating a new third-party vendor that uses AI.
You will be given the full text of a vendor’s privacy policy, contract, or DPA. Based on your analysis, identify:
1. Whether the vendor may use client data for:
– Training AI models
– Fine-tuning
– Behavioral profiling
– Automated decision-making
– Third-party model access (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock)
2. Contractual gaps or risk areas, including:
– Lack of restrictions on training use
– No clear data retention or deletion policy
– Undisclosed subprocessors or downstream AI vendors
– Missing opt-out or notice rights (e.g., under GDPR Art. 22 or CPRA)
– Inconsistent or overly vague language in the DPA or privacy policy
3. Generate a table summarizing:
| Issue | Risk Level | Contract Gap/Concern | Recommended Language or Redline |
4. Provide an overall risk score (0–100)
5. Write a brief executive summary with recommended next steps (e.g., suggest contract redlines, request vendor DPIA, legal review).
You will be given the full contract and policy text below:

Can I use this prompt with any AI assistant, like ChatGPT or Gemini?
Yes. This prompt is designed to work with any advanced language model that supports long-form text input, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others. Just paste in the prompt along with the full contract or privacy policy you want analyzed.
Can this prompt help with compliance under laws like GDPR, CPRA, or HIPAA?
Yes. The prompt is designed to flag gaps related to global privacy regulations, including GDPR (like Article 22), and CPRA (such as opt-out rights). It helps teams ensure vendor contracts align with your regulatory obligations.
What types of contracts or policies does this AI prompt work best on?
The prompt works best on vendor agreements, data processing addendums (DPAs), privacy policies, and AI-specific contract clauses. It’s especially helpful for reviewing AI vendor contracts, where terms around data usage, training rights, and subprocessors are often vague or buried in legalese.
