"You are solely responsible for evaluating the merits and risks associated with the use of the Platform, any Content (as defined below) on the Platform and any Services provided through the Platform before making any investment, financial or other decision based upon the same.— Excerpt from Stash's Stash Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.105) grants California residents the right to request deletion of personal information, which may conflict with a perpetual license over user-submitted content that constitutes personal information.
