My app has over 16,000 users. Here's how to not get sued on building an app for the first time. Number one, if your app uses AI and you don't disclose it, the FTC classifies that as deceptive advertising. The fine is $51,000 per violation per day. A single sentence in your privacy policy or your landing page is all it takes to avoid this. Number two, if your terms and service does

not include an arbitration clause, a single unhappy user can organize a class action lawsuit against you. A single line in your terms of services like this one can save you millions of dollars in liability. Number three, Apple and Google both require a privacy nutrition label that lists out every data type that your app collects. For example, if your app uses Google Analytics or

Metapixels and they're not listed, Apple can ban you from the app store and hold you liable under CCPA rules. Number four is UGC liability. If your app lets users upload photos, videos, audio, or text, and they upload something copyrighted, you can be held liable up to $150,000 per work. To protect yourself, register a DMCA designated agent at copyright.gov. It costs $6 and add a

take down clause to your terms of services. If you need help, comment safe and I'll send you access to all the checklists I use.
