Hello there, as I mentioned in the post, I build this as a side project by my self and I'm running it as a freelancer registered in Spain, you can check my VAT number ESY1848661G. I was planning to collect some feedback and honestly didn't expect such interest in the project. I will make the necessary adjustments to the privacy policy and terms of service. When I started this, I had in mind to convert it into a company, but I'm still running it as a freelancer. Thanks for your feedback! I will correct my mistake.

Hey, thanks for your immediate reply. Congrats for starting your own business. If you're Spanish-based maybe something like "aviso legal" at [1] or "legal notice" (imprint) at hetzner [2] is needed so people can validate that you/your company actually exist.

I'm not familiar with Spanish S.L. (Sociedad Limitada) but it seems to be a private, share-based legal entity with minimum 3000 EUR share capital and at least one director. It seems the share capital does not need to be paid in full [3] which is a risk for potential customers if things go wrong.

If you're based in a EU country I'd suggest to also clearly communicate all these legal information, because it's easier for potential customers to build trust into your services.

Personally, I trust companies more that put a name and face on their website too. So I can check if the person behind it is real (mostly using LinkedIn).

Name and face are good soft indicators, but hard to verify without previous connection via existing social network. Company registration info can be verified.
