The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per obligation per instrument, quoted verbatim from the authority with its effective date and threshold: the written-acknowledgment threshold and what the receipt must say, the quid-pro-quo disclosure, the card-data conditions a hosted payment form must meet to stay in the lightest SAQ, the negative-option and telemarketing consent rules a subscription or call-back form triggers, and the email-consent rule; the cross-rule comparison is the figure - which thresholds bite at what amount, and which of them a form (rather than a back office) has to satisfy", "embed": "
