Question 1

Why would I create an account?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Can you tell when I tap Agree on another site?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What can I paste?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What does my account keep?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What will you notify me about?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

What does Fineprint use on this site?

Accepted Answer
