# Legal & Policies

> Community rules, agreement checkboxes, permanent toggles, compliance

Legal & Policies configures the rules and compliance surface for each community — what members must agree to before participating.

## Community rules

Each community can have its own rich-text rules (#897):

* Headings, lists, links, inline images.
* Rendered in the member app on join and in a permanent footer (if enabled).
* Translations supported per locale.
* Empty / whitespace-only rules are sanitised (#2237).

***

## Agreement checkboxes

Require members to tick an **"I agree to the rules"** checkbox before joining (#1099). Useful for:

* Giveaways with legal/jurisdictional rules
* Regulated industries (alcohol, gambling, pharma)
* Communities with strict codes of conduct

***

## Permanent rules toggle

Set the rules panel as **permanently visible** (#1435, #1361) — members can't dismiss it, and admins can't silently turn it off once enabled. This is a compliance safeguard for regulated verticals.

<Warning>
  Once the permanent toggle is on, it's persistent (#1361). Turning it off requires an admin action that's logged. Treat this as a "one-way door" for compliance reasons.
</Warning>

## Compliance page

The compliance page (#1032) documents Nudj's own platform compliance posture — data residency, GDPR, cookie policies. Link to it from your own legal pages when required.
