Line by line
The lines that matter most, worst first.
The fetch did not load Quora’s real privacy policy. You only got an error and a Q&A page.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again.”
For example, you still would not know if Quora trains AI on your answers.
A user points to where the real Terms of Service live, which is not in this document.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“Or, of course, there's the direct link: https://www.quora.com/about/tos”
For example.
This is a bot summary of typical ToS, not the signed legal text, so it is not reliable as Quora’s rule.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“You keep ownership of what you post. Quora does not claim your copyright.”
For example, you should not treat this as proof you own your answers until you read the real ToS.
A summary claims a broad license, but it is not quoted from Quora’s official terms in this fetch.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“By posting, you grant Quora a broad license to use, display, distribute, and modify your content (including to partners).”
For example, you cannot be sure ads can sit next to your answers based only on this page.
A summary says accounts can be shut down; the official terms are not here.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“Quora can suspend or terminate accounts for rule violations or suspicious activity.”
For example, you would not know if they warn you first.
A bot summary of typical disclaimers, not the actual clause.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“Quora disclaims many : services are provided “as is,” and they don’t guarantee accuracy, availability, or that the platform is error-free.”
For example, you still would not know the dollar cap if something goes wrong.
A user paraphrase of age rules, not the official policy text.
Read the exact line
Terms of service
“You should be above the age of 13. If you are Spanish or South Korean, you should be above the age of 14.”
For example, a 12-year-old still would not know how Quora checks age.
This is a generic explanation of privacy policies, not Quora’s promise.
Read the exact line
Privacy policy
“A privacy policy may protect the user by safeguarding personal information from ever being shared with the public or a third-party.”
For example, it does not mean Quora will never share your data.
Words to know
Legal words from the lines above, in plain English.
- personal data
- Any information that is about you or can be linked to you, from your name to your phone's ID. For example, your email, your IP address and the list of apps on your phone are all personal data.
- third parties
- Any company or person other than you and the app, such as advertisers, partners or analytics firms. For example, an analytics company that receives a record of every screen you tap is a third party.
- retention
- How long a company keeps your data before deleting it. For example, a policy might keep your messages for 30 days after you delete them, or for as long as it likes.
- de-identified
- Data with your name and obvious identifiers removed, though it can sometimes still be traced back to you. For example, your chats with names stripped out may still be kept and studied after you delete your account.
- data portability
- Your right to get a copy of your data in a file you can take to another service. For example, you can download all your playlists and upload them to a rival music app.
- 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.
- 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.
- warranty
- A promise that a product will work as described; most apps say they make no such promise at all. For example, if a paid feature never works on your phone, a no-warranty clause says that is your problem.
