What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing that the company may sell or share your personal data with third parties.

“We do not and will not sell your information to third parties.”

What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.

The document describes selling or commercially sharing personal data with third parties.

High cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

“When you use any of our services that include these or other similar capabilities we may collect your content in accordance with our terms of use and this policy.”

What that means: A click in one product can later be used to block a lawsuit about a park, store, or different service.

Accepting this document can bind you beyond this app — including physical venues or sister brands.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

You are agreeing that the company may collect location or other sensitive data.

“- **Location information ** With your consent, we may collect and process information about your precise location.”

What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.

The company collects location or other sensitive categories of data.

High cost

Health or fitness data used beyond care

You are agreeing that the company may collect or share health or fitness data.

“- **Health Information ** With your consent, we may collect certain health information such as the number of steps taken or distance walked.”

What that means: Wellness details can be stored or shared with partners you did not choose.

The document describes collecting or sharing health or fitness data beyond running the core service.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

You are agreeing that the company may keep your data for an open-ended period.

“Information retention and information security We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected as set out in this privacy policy, after which time it is deleted, or de-identified in accordance with our retention practices based on the sensitivity of the data, account activity, features or services used and applicable law.”

What that means: Old account data can linger long after you expected it to be gone.

Retention is open-ended or justified with vague business interests.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“, a “child” is under the age of 13 in the United States, under the age of 14 in Quebec, etc.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.
