What I was refering when I said rights is the right to decide whether if they should use my private info or not.
It’s a private website. You give up your rights when accessing the site. If you want to keep your right to your info, don’t use the site…
Thats not how the law works, and the law is above any corporation. At least this is still true in Europe. So if the law states that I dont need to give up any rights, then I... Dont need to give up any rights
Yes this would only be in the US. I should’ve put that in one of my earlier comments… thanks for the clarification. Also, while we are at it, I should add do your own research too. I am just a rando and this is my general understanding of how shit works over here. Laws could even vary on state level that I’m not aware of too.
