High, provisions that significantly limit your legal rights, authorize broad data collection, or create material financial exposure. Medium, provisions worth knowing about but with partial protections or limited scope. Low, standard terms with minimal consumer impact.
Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Equifax’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
The refund is limited to fully unused months, meaning any partially used month is excluded from the refund calculation.
The 30-day written notice deadline is a hard procedural requirement; missing it forfeits the right to exclude yourself from arbitration.
This clause frames Equifax's stated obligations as commitments rather than enforceable procedural requirements, and the standard of 'greater control' is relative and undefined.
The clause frames compliance as a commitment tied to laws that are described as evolving, meaning the specific obligations Equifax is bound to may change over time as those laws develop.
The clause establishes a stated limiting condition on data sharing, but 'legitimate purposes' is not defined in the excerpt, leaving the scope of permissible sharing open to Equifax's interpretation.
