‘Terms and Conditions May Apply’ is an award winning documentary about EULAs, Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policies. Director Cullen Hoback also recently wrote an article on the subject for The Guardian: Our data is our digital identity – and we need to reclaim control.
Have you ever read the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policies connected to every website you visit, phone call you make, or app you use? Of course you haven’t. But those agreements allow corporations to do things with your personal information you could never even imagine. This film explores the intent hidden within these ridiculous agreements, and reveals what corporations and governments are legally taking from you and the outrageous consequences that result from clicking “I accept.”
The trailer for the film can be found below.
