The user needs a clear legal and compliance baseline for public-facing hobby projects, specifically regarding data handling and privacy, but finds existing resources and legal advice fragmented and hard to obtain.

There is no single, comprehensive baseline or resource that covers all legal and compliance aspects for online projects, especially concerning data gathering, storage, and sharing. Legal advice is expensive and often requires a detailed business outline, which is time-consuming for hobbyists.
