Privacy + Terms review for an AI SaaS adding de-identified data collection (California attorney)

Privacy + Terms review for an AI SaaS adding de-identified data collection (California attorney) Budget: open. Please propose your rate and an estimated number of hours. Pre-revenue California single-member LLC. We run a web app and API for LLM hallucination detection. We already have about 10 pages of Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and a DPA / SCCs bundle drafted from reputable templates and cross-checked against peer policies. We have no users yet, so this is a clean slate. What we need reviewed: we are moving from a zero-retention stance to collecting and retaining prompt/response data from our US web-app users, de-identified, to improve the product. API traffic and EU/UK users stay zero-retention. We want a lawyer to pressure-test this posture and the disclosures before we turn it on. Core questions: • Is a "de-identified" (CCPA) claim defensible for machine-scrubbed free text, and how should we disclose the residual re-identification risk? We do not want to claim GDPR "anonymous." • FTC Section 5 exposure from setting this as our launch posture, given we have no existing users to grandfather. • Making de-identified collection a disclosed, mandatory condition of using the web app (no opt-out), with consent given by accepting the Terms at signup. Is that enforceable and not a dark pattern? • Collecting from US users only and excluding EU/UK to sidestep GDPR consent issues. Is that the right line? • Special-category data (health, etc.) that can appear in free text. How should we handle and disclose it? • A use-limitation we want to state: the data trains a classifier that produces a score, never a text-generating model, so it cannot be reproduced in any output. • A standard SaaS review of our existing Terms / Privacy / DPA: liability caps, indemnification, HIPAA/PHI prohibition, and CCPA disclosures. We also want a short, basic IP-safety check (a light touch, not a deep patent engagement): our founder is starting an outside contract role and wants simple assurance that the company's existing, already-patented, LLC-owned IP stays protected. Deliverable, in two parts: (1) your assessment of the questions above, delivered as written notes and followed by a call to talk them through; and (2) redline edits to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and to the DPA where the retention change touches it, to implement the agreed posture. This is a review-and-revise engagement, not just a read-through, so please size your estimate accordingly (we'd guess several hours). The current drafts and a detailed question list are shared on hire. Requirements: licensed California attorney with privacy/data (CCPA and GDPR) and SaaS contract experience. Please include your rate and a rough hours estimate in your proposal.
