📜 Read the fine print, fast

Know what you sign up for

Every "I agree" hands over rights you never read. Here's the plain-English, section-by-section version for the apps Indians use most — the content licences, data-sharing and AI-training rights you grant, and how to take them back.

ℹ️ Plain-language summaries of what each service's public terms generally allow — for education, not a legal verdict. Always check the official terms (linked on each card). Want the full data picture? See the data & privacy explorer →

The six rights you quietly hand over

Almost every "I agree" trades away some mix of these. Learn the six once, and you can skim any terms-of-service in minutes — each app card below tags which ones it takes.

Your posts stop being only yours

You keep "ownership", but grant a worldwide, royalty-free, often sub-licensable licence to host, copy, modify and distribute whatever you upload — and copies can survive after you delete.

On cards: Content licence

Your data travels beyond the app

Account details, contacts, usage and location flow to affiliates, "partners" and advertisers. Profiles get combined across apps — what you do in one place prices the ads you see in another.

On cards: Data sharing · Tracking & ads

Your words & photos can train AI

Public posts, reviews and images are increasingly fair game for training the company's AI models. Real opt-outs are rare — usually the only "no" is not posting.

On cards: Content & AI

The deal can change under you

Terms update whenever the company likes; keeping the app open counts as saying yes. The agreement you actually read is rarely the one you're on a year later.

On cards: Changes

They can end it — suing back is hard

Accounts can be suspended "at their discretion", sometimes taking your content and balances with them. Disputes are often routed to arbitration or foreign courts, with class actions waived.

On cards: Termination

"Delete" doesn't always mean delete

Retention windows, backups and copies already shared with partners can outlive your account. Deleting the app from your phone deletes nothing at all.

What no app can take away

Whatever you clicked "agree" on, India's DPDP Act 2023 gives you rights that terms of service cannot sign away — and fines of up to ₹250 crore back them up.
