What you can turn off

The controls and opt-outs their own documents describe, and where they say to find them.

  2. Read the separate Privacy Notice

    Terms section 5 points to AT&T’s Privacy Notice for collection and use

If a switch is not where they say, the deletion request above still applies.

Line by line

The lines that matter most, worst first.

1 · The fine print

Words to know

Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.

royalty-free
The company can use your content without ever paying you for it. For example, your photo can appear in the app's ads and you get nothing.
perpetual
Lasting forever, with no end date. For example, a perpetual licence means the company can keep using your video years after you leave.
irrevocable
Cannot be taken back or cancelled once given, even if you change your mind or delete your account. For example, an irrevocable licence to your photos means you cannot withdraw it later.
sublicensable
The company can pass its rights over your content on to other companies without asking you. For example, an app can let an advertiser or a partner reuse your video under the licence you gave.
worldwide license
You let the company use your content anywhere on earth, usually for free and for as long as it likes. For example, a video you post can be shown in ads in any country without asking you again.
limitation of liability
A cap on what the company will ever pay you if something goes wrong, often only what you paid in the last year. For example, if a leak of your data costs you thousands, the most you may get back is a month's subscription fee.
indemnify
You promise to pay the company's legal costs and losses if your use of the service gets it sued. For example, if you post a song you do not own and the label sues the app, you owe the app's lawyer bills.
service providers
Outside companies that handle your data on the app's instructions, such as a cloud host or an email sender. For example, the company that stores the app's files in the cloud sees your data but only does what the app tells it.
affiliates
Other companies owned by or connected to the same parent company. For example, if you use one app, its sister apps under the same owner may also get your data.
consent
Your clear agreement to something, given by an action like ticking a box or tapping Accept. For example, a pop-up asking if the app may use your location is asking for consent.
severability
If a court throws out one part of the agreement, the rest still stands. For example, if one refund rule is thrown out in your state, the rest of the terms still apply.
governing law
Which country's or state's laws are used to settle any dispute, no matter where you live. For example, a user in Ohio may find the terms are judged under California law.
