Clarity

Clicking "I agree" when we haven't read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy costs more in the future than the time we think it saves.

Earlier this year, my Wise account was suddenly banned for violating their Terms of Service, "which I never actually read." As a global remote worker, this wasn’t just inconvenient; it froze my main source of income and created weeks of unnecessary stress. (Thankfully, they allowed me to withdraw my balance later.)

A friend had a similar experience. She woke up to the message: "Access to your account has been suspended due to violation of our terms of service" on GitHub, and she didn't know what term she violated. sample message on X

And it’s not just account bans. Every day, we sign up for services whose Privacy Policies quietly mention that our personal data can be shared or even sold to third parties (advertisers). We skip through the fine print because it’s written in dense, legal jargon, and because we assume it won’t matter.

But it does matter. Our financial accounts, our identities, and our privacy are all bound by contracts we don’t understand, yet agree to daily.

Clarity helps you see what you’re really signing up for. Because informed consent on the internet shouldn’t require a law degree. You should know:

What actions will make your accounts suspended or banned.
Which of your personal information is collected.
How is your personal information collected.
How is your personal information stored, shared, or sold.
