It's a grey area. But I am interested, do your ToS forbid your customers from on-sharing the data with cross-site aggregators?

- anfedorov 9y ago"on-sharing the data with cross-site aggregators"? The ToS and Privacy Policy of an analytics company discloses what the that company may do with their client's users' data, not what the client can do with their own users' data. There's another Privacy Policy between the client and the user where the client discloses what they may and may not do with user data and the user decides whether to become / remain a user. There are also laws which dictate the data handling further on behalf of large groups of users, e.g. GDRP for EU citizens and, on this side of the pond, interesting Supreme Court cases being decided about what kind of data users could have property rights to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States
- codezero 9y agoNope – not explicitly, that would be something within _their_ terms of service since it's their data. Their own customers would have to hold them accountable. I know that's a cop-out – but I can't imagine a system where we could enforce some kind of downstream compliance. Things like GDPR are a good way to make companies accountable and I look forward to that becoming more broadly accepted.
