Why would I create an account?

An account is part of Fineprint Premium. It keeps the companies you use and the plain-English list of what you accepted. Looking up and pasting stay free with no account. Premium email for watched terms ships when billing opens.

Can you tell when I tap Agree on another site?

No. We cannot see Agree on a website, TV, or console. With Premium, look the company up here, then tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed. That is how those terms get on your list.

A public URL, or the words from a privacy policy, terms page, cookie notice, or waiver. We list what you accept and what it can cost you, with quotes.

What if I have to agree on a TV or console?

Those screens rarely give you a URL. Search the company or app name here on your phone — Apple TV, Disney+, Xbox — read what they ask, then go back and decide. If it is not on our list, paste a public URL, paste the words from the screen, or send the company name. With Premium, if you already agreed, tap “I accepted these terms.” See On a TV for the full steps.

What does my account keep?

Premium accounts keep the companies you saved, the date you marked “I accepted these terms,” and the plain-English list of what that click can cost you. Removing a company from Fineprint does not cancel what you already agreed to at the company.

What will you notify me about?

With Premium, if you ask to be notified, you get an in-app notice when watched terms change. Public briefings also appear on News. Email for those watched changes comes with Premium when checkout is live — it is not sending yet.

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

Tracking you across apps

You are agreeing to have your behavior tracked across the internet by third-party ad networks and analytics providers.

“We may also allow others to provide audience measurement and analytics services for us, to serve ads on our behalf across the internet or for other companies’ products and services on our apps, and to track and report on the performance of those ads.”

What that means: Your online activity is monitored by multiple external companies beyond just Uber.

Uber explicitly states that third parties can track users across different websites and apps using cookies and similar technologies to deliver targeted ads.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

You are agreeing to provide biometric facial data for identity verification.

“Collecting a real-time selfie that we compare against the photo on your ID or your profile photo to confirm that the photos are of the the same person”

What that means: Biometric identifiers linked to your government ID are stored and processed by Uber.

Uber collects biometric data in the form of facial verification selfies to verify identity, which is highly sensitive personal information.

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing to broad sharing of your data with third-party advertisers and data partners.

“We share data with companies whose apps or websites you access through Uber ... Uber will not sell or share your phone number with any third party to send you marketing or promotional text messages. This excludes service providers who assist us solely in executing and delivering our own text messaging services.”

What that means: Your personal information is provided to brokers and advertisers for commercial use.

While direct selling of phone numbers for spam is restricted, Uber broadly shares data with advertising partners, data resellers, and intermediaries who build user profiles for commercial targeting.

Medium cost

Indefinite retention

You are agreeing to indefinite retention of your core activity data for up to 7 years.

“The sooner of life of account or 7 years ... Communications ... Location Data ... Trip/Order ... Usage Data”

What that means: A large history of your movements and conversations remains on file long after you stop using the service.

Uber keeps detailed records of your trips, locations, and communications for up to 7 years after account closure for legal and business interests.

Medium cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these privacy rules cover all listed Uber-affiliated services and brands.

“This notice applies when you use Uber’s apps or websites to request or receive products or services, including rides or deliveries. ... except when you use Uber Freight, TrendyolGo App/website or Careem Rides”

What that means: Your data usage practices are consistent across different Uber-owned brands and services.

The privacy policy covers various specific brands and regional variations like Uber Freight and Careem, indicating a unified policy scope across different product verticals.

Lower cost

Broad license to user content

You are agreeing to submit content that Uber stores and processes for platform functionality.

“User content. This refers to the data that we collect when you: ... Upload photos and recordings ... Respond to a survey.”

What that means: Your submitted photos and reviews become part of Uber's system.

Uber collects user-generated content like reviews, lists, and support photos. While specific perpetual license language is not explicitly quoted in this section's summary, standard terms usually apply to user content submission.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what Uber asks.
