Tips, Tricks and Advice for Reviewing

I made a new checklist (heavily based off checklist · tosdr/tosdr.org Wiki · GitHub and Rough draft checklist)

Before we mark a service as comprehensively reviewed we should check whether the following topics have been covered:

  • Can they delete your account or content without reason or notice?
  • Can you opt out of things? (promotions, selling data, targeted advertising, etc.)
  • What rights do you waive? (moral, class action)
  • Do they notify you of changes in their Terms?
  • Do they respect DNT signals?
  • Do you indemnify and/or defend the service in disputes?
  • What copyrights do you give them to use your content?
  • What happens to your data after a request for deletion? How long do they keep that information?
  • How do they respond to government requests for your information? Do they notify you?
  • What laws are they compliant with (GDPR, CCPA, etc)
  • Do they sell or give out your personal data to third parties? What about in the event of a merger or bankruptcy?
  • Do they or third parties track you?
  • What kind of information do they collect? (biometric, location, etc.)
  • Do they say how they collect or plan to use your data?
  • Can you leave the service or delete your account at any time?
  • Can you export your data (where applicable)?
  • Are there Limitations of liability or warranty?
