In order to protect your privacy even more efficiently, you need to do something very simple whenever using an online service or a software. Something that most people fail to do is reading the terms of service, also known as a TOS, from companies or developers’ software. This usually will tell you straight up whether they’re spying on you, selling your data, or using it to sell ads. This will solve a lot of problems with people not realizing that some software is actually the opposite of privacy, but they keep using it thinking it enhances their privacy.

    And the time. If you read every single TOS you’d never have time for anything else.

      How many service you use? I always read full tos section on privacy, data, ad. Take 20-40 minute for most store. Only once time take.

      If TOS too long to read in 20-40 i do not use service.
