- leetbulb 7y agoGoogle the first bit of that sentence. It's likely just some generic ToS they used. But yeah, still not good. That said, I'm a happy user of Privacy.com It's great.
- thekyle 7y agoSo what? Privacy.com pretty much just provides proxy card numbers for online shopping. What content are you afraid of giving them a license to use?
- silasdavis 7y agoIt just amuses me that such extreme legal arse covering can not be avoided even when you are called privacy.com. But you're right, I can't think of any nefarious purpose to which the history of my consumption could be put...
- thekyle 7y agoThe excerpt, applies to copyrighted content created by you and submitted to their platform. So the question is whether credit card transactions are creative works or facts. If credit card transactions are a creative work then you are eligible for copyright protection and this part of the terms of use would apply. However, if credit card transactions are facts (in other words if it is a fact that $x was charged to this card on some date) then they are not eligible for copyright protection and this section of the terms would not apply. There is no way to know whether credit card transactions are creative works or facts until someone tries to claim copyright over one in court, however, to my knowledge that has not happened yet.
