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.

Too bad you need a law degree to fully understand them
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.
