Terms of Service; Didn't Read

“I have read and agree to the Terms” is the biggest lie on the web. We aim to fix that.

Welcome to our edit tool

Using this online tool, you can help to update the content of the ToS;DR website. Below are the most recent changes people have made. Above, you can see the menu bar, where you can navigate to the list of Services, or the Points search page.

How it works

A service is a website or online application, for instance YouTube. A case is an individual remark that can form part of the review of a service, for instance "you need to be 13 years old to use this service"; each is assigned a topic to provide grouping. A point links a case to a service, for instance "you need to be 13 years old to use YouTube".

To review a service's terms and conditions, first make sure the service is listed, and raise it on the reviewers forum if it isn't. Then read the actual terms and policies you have to agree to to use this service, and make a note about anything that you find remarkable. Find the existing case for each of these review remarks, or create it if necessary, and create a point to add that case as a remark in the review of the service. Use the checklist to see if you forgot to review any aspects.

Then you need to wait for a curator to approve your changes, after which your review will show up on https://tosdr.org, will be picked up by the ToS;DR browser extensions, and included in DuckDuckGo's Privacy Grade, for which our API is one of several input factors.
