Regulated Claims and Legal Review

Claims boundary

SophMate can help draft content, replies, and campaign plans, but regulated or legally sensitive claims require qualified human review. Watch for medical, financial, legal, safety, warranty, guarantee, tax, privacy, employment, age-restricted, or compliance-sensitive language.

Review path

Flag sensitive claims before publishing product copy, campaign messages, support replies, Knowledge Base content, or storefront panel answers. Pair this guide with Content and SEO Workflows, Marketing Studio Campaign Review, and Support Reply Review Workflow when customer-facing copy may create obligations.

Approval standard

Sensitive output should name the claim, affected page or message, reviewer, source evidence, and approved wording. Use Approval Controls so regulated content does not move from draft to production only because it sounds polished.

Owner and cadence

• Primary owner: account owner, agency lead, privacy owner, or operations lead depending on risk area.
• Review cadence: monthly, after incidents, after staff changes, and before client or stakeholder reporting.
• Escalate when output touches medical, financial, legal, safety, warranty, tax, privacy, or compliance-sensitive claims.

Production checklist

• Flag medical, financial, legal, safety, warranty, tax, privacy, age-restricted, or compliance-sensitive claims before publication.
• Record source evidence, reviewer, approved wording, affected pages or messages, and any required disclaimers.
• Assign owners for approval policy, audit review, retention, privacy handling, backup validation, and support escalation.
• Keep governance decisions visible in onboarding notes so agencies, developers, support leads, and store owners do not invent separate rules.

Acceptance checks

• Sensitive claims cannot move from draft to production without qualified human review.
• The final wording is traceable to approved source material and an accountable reviewer.
• A reviewer can identify the accountable owner for customer, commerce, theme, privacy, and provider decisions.
• The team has a repeatable monthly review for budgets, audit events, permissions, retention, and unresolved incidents.

Common mistakes

• Letting polished AI copy publish regulated claims before a qualified reviewer checks the source, wording, and obligations.
• Treating governance as a one-time setup task instead of a recurring review of roles, budgets, approvals, retention, and audit records.
• Sharing diagnostics, screenshots, or client reports before removing secrets and unrelated private data.
