Ticketmaster
· Ticketmaster Terms of Use
Account eligibility requires users to be at least 18 years old, or at least 13 years old with parental authorization and parental acceptance of the Terms; users under 13 are not permitted to use the Marketplace....
Why it matters: This provision permits users as young as 13 to hold accounts with parental authorization, and places responsibility for minors' conduct and use of the Marketplace on parents or legal guardians who accept the Terms on their behalf. The liability waiver and indemnification provisions elsewhere in the Terms would apply to minor users under this framework....
-
Ticketmaster
· Ticketmaster Terms of Use
Ticketmaster may update the Terms at any time for stated or unstated reasons; updated Terms become binding only upon the user's agreement to the updated version, and the prior version continues to govern until the user agrees to the updated Terms....
Why it matters: The provision states that updated Terms bind users only upon their affirmative agreement, which is a consumer-favorable mechanism relative to terms that take effect automatically upon continued use; however, the practical mechanism by which agreement is solicited and recorded is not described in this provision. The prior version is accessible via a download link, which provides a transparency mechanism for tracking changes....

Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy authorizes sharing hashed email addresses and device advertising identifiers with third-party advertising partners, who may use this information to serve targeted ads to members and similar audiences both on Nextdoor and on other websites and services....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes cross-platform advertising data flows involving pseudonymous but potentially re-identifiable identifiers, and the geographic qualifier 'where permissible according to applicable law' indicates that the scope of this sharing varies by jurisdiction depending on applicable consent or opt-out requirements....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy discloses that members may voluntarily provide race or ethnicity information, either as part of their profile or via a welcoming platform survey, and states that survey-collected race or ethnicity data will be used only to understand and address potential bias in Nextdoor's services....
Why it matters: Race and ethnicity constitute special category data under GDPR Article 9 and sensitive personal information under CCPA, requiring explicit consent and heightened processing justifications; the policy's limitation on survey-collected race or ethnicity data to bias assessment purposes is a narrowing condition, but the scope of profile-level demographic data use is not equivalently restricted in the document....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy discloses that personal information about individuals who have not registered for Nextdoor, including name, email address, and phone number, may be collected through contact lists or address books uploaded by existing members, or through manual entry by members....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a data collection pathway for individuals who have not consented to Nextdoor's terms of service, raising transparency and lawful basis obligations under GDPR and equivalent frameworks; the policy states non-members may contact privacy@nextdoor.com to inquire about their data, but does not describe proactive notice mechanisms for affected individuals....

Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy states that continued use of Nextdoor constitutes consent to the transfer and processing of personal information outside the user's home country, including to the United States, which may have less protective data protection rules....
Why it matters: The use of behavioral consent (continued use) as the stated mechanism for authorizing international transfers may require evaluation against GDPR and UK GDPR requirements, which recognize Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, and other specific mechanisms as lawful transfer bases rather than general consent obtained through continued service use....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy states that Nextdoor may collect precise geolocation data from device GPS with user permission, and separately derives general location from IP address or other data without requiring separate device permission, using both for content personalization and advertising....
Why it matters: The distinction between permission-gated precise geolocation and passively derived general location is operationally significant because the latter does not require a separate device-level permission grant, meaning location-based content and ad personalization may occur regardless of whether a user grants location access to the app....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy discloses that Nextdoor shares member personal information with service providers including generative AI vendors, who are described as contractually restricted to using the data only to provide services to Nextdoor and prohibited from using it for their own purposes....
Why it matters: The inclusion of generative AI as a named service provider category is a specific disclosure that member personal information may be processed by generative AI systems; the contractual restriction described does not specify which data categories are processed by which vendor types, leaving the scope of AI-involved data processing unspecified beyond the general contractual limitation....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy states that personal information is retained for as long as necessary to provide services or fulfill stated purposes, with extended retention authorized for legal and regulatory obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement of platform terms....
Why it matters: The retention standard is defined by necessity and purpose rather than fixed maximum durations; the absence of stated retention periods for specific data categories may require evaluation against GDPR storage limitation principles and equivalent state law requirements....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy authorizes disclosure of member content and personal information to law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties under a good-faith necessity standard covering legal process responses, fraud investigation, safety protection, terms enforcement, and harm prevention....
Why it matters: The provision authorizes disclosure to private parties (in addition to law enforcement) under a good-faith necessity standard, and includes terms enforcement and unethical (not solely illegal) activity as enumerated disclosure grounds, which extends the scope of permissible disclosure beyond legally compelled responses....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy prohibits use of Nextdoor's services by children under 13 or under the applicable consent age in their jurisdiction, and provides a contact mechanism at privacy@nextdoor.com for reporting and requesting deletion of any inadvertently collected child data....
Why it matters: The provision establishes a dual threshold (under 13 or under the applicable local consent age) that references jurisdiction-specific standards without detailing verification mechanisms, which is relevant to COPPA compliance in the US and GDPR Article 8 age consent requirements in the EU (16 or lower national variation) and UK (13)....
-
Nextdoor
· Nextdoor Privacy Policy
The policy states that material changes will be communicated in advance as required by applicable law, and that continued use of Nextdoor after such notice constitutes acknowledgment that the updated policy governs data collection, use, and sharing....
Why it matters: The continued-use consent mechanism for policy updates is standard in platform privacy policies but may require evaluation against GDPR requirements in EU and UK contexts, where material changes to data processing may require renewed consent rather than constructive acceptance through continued use....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
The Agreement requires US users to resolve most disputes through binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS, and waives the right to participate in class action proceedings or jury trials, subject to a 30-day written opt-out window from first use....
Why it matters: This provision requires that disputes between US users and Consensys proceed through individual JAMS arbitration rather than court proceedings, and forecloses class action participation; the 30-day opt-out window from first use is the operative mechanism for users who wish to preserve court-based dispute rights....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use

-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
Users who authorize AI Agents to use their Consensys credentials retain full legal and financial responsibility for all actions those agents take, including blockchain transactions and Agreement violations, and are required to monitor and revoke agent permissions as appropriate....

-

-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use

Why it matters: This provision discloses that mUSD assets held or transacted through MetaMask are subject to unilateral restriction, freeze, or seizure by third-party compliance and security providers without prior notice, and that Consensys is not responsible for reviewing, challenging, or remediating such actions....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
Consensys may immediately suspend user access to any or all Offerings without prior notice if it determines the user's activity poses security risks, legal exposure, regulatory risk, or constitutes a payment default of 30 days or more....
Why it matters: This provision authorizes Consensys to suspend access immediately and without advance notice across a broad range of subjective determinations, including potential legal liability to third parties or potential unlawfulness, which may affect users relying on MetaMask or Infura for operational continuity....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
Users are required to defend, indemnify, and hold Consensys and its affiliates harmless from losses arising from the user's breach of the Agreement, violation of law, or disputes between the user and their own customers or end users, including attorneys' fees....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a broad user indemnification obligation that extends to third-party claims arising from the user's Agreement violations, legal violations, or disputes with their own downstream users, which is operationally significant for business accounts and developers deploying Consensys-powered products to their own user bases....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use

-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
Consensys disclaims all responsibility for third-party content and services accessible through MetaMask and related Offerings, including MetaMask Swaps, Bridging, Staking, and Snaps, and states that users access such services at their own risk....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that users bear all risk associated with third-party decentralized applications, tokens, and services accessed through MetaMask, and that Consensys has no liability for losses arising from misleading, erroneous, or harmful third-party content, which is operationally significant given MetaMask's role as a primary access point to decentralized finance applications....
-
MetaMask
· MetaMask Terms of Use
Consensys may modify any part of the Agreement at any time at its sole discretion; continued use of the Offerings following posted changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms, regardless of whether the user has reviewed the changes....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that Agreement modifications take effect through continued use, without requiring affirmative re-consent from users, which may interact with consumer protection requirements in EU/EEA and UK jurisdictions that require meaningful consent to material contract changes....

Stripe may grant conditional approval to restricted businesses but reserves the right to modify or revoke that approval at any time, on a per-service-offer basis....

Why it matters: This provision restricts Stripe Issuing to business-purpose use cases only and prohibits program structures that would load, access, or disburse consumer funds through issued cards, which directly affects fintech and payroll platforms evaluating Stripe Issuing as a distribution mechanism....
-
Stripe
· Stripe Restricted Businesses List
Stripe Issuing requires that the business's physical location, jurisdiction of registration, and at least one beneficial owner's physical address all match, and that Issuing cards be used primarily within that jurisdiction....
Why it matters: This provision imposes a geographic consistency requirement for Stripe Issuing that limits cross-border use of the product and requires beneficial owner address documentation to align with business registration jurisdiction, creating onboarding and ongoing compliance obligations....
-
Stripe
· Stripe Restricted Businesses List
Stripe automatically closes a Stripe Issuing account if all associated cards have been inactive for 12 consecutive months....
Why it matters: This provision establishes an automatic account closure trigger based solely on card inactivity, without requiring any notice or cure period, which may affect businesses with seasonal or project-based card usage patterns....

Why it matters: This provision incorporates FTC and CFPB UDAAP standards directly into Stripe's contractual prohibited business list, meaning businesses that engage in practices regulated or prohibited by those agencies may also be in violation of Stripe's terms, creating a dual exposure to both regulatory enforcement and payment processing termination....

TikTok discontinued its legacy MMP integration on March 31, 2025. Apps not migrated to SAN integration by that date lose in-app event sharing, attribution functionality, and the ability to create new campaigns or ad groups....
Why it matters: This provision establishes a hard operational cutoff that directly suspends campaign creation access and disables attribution data for non-migrated apps. Advertisers relying on legacy MMP integrations for measurement and campaign management face a complete loss of those functions until SAN migration is completed....
