What it can cost you

Downsides we could quote

Quoted clauses that can affect your privacy, money, or right to go to court — including terms that follow you to other products.

Highest-cost clauses first

High cost

Data sold or shared with third parties

You are agreeing that the company may sell or share your personal data with third parties.

“And no, we don’t sell your personal information.”

What that means: Your activity and identifiers can be used by companies you did not choose.

High cost

Terms follow you to parks, stores, and other products

You are agreeing that these rules can follow you to other products, venues, or affiliates of the company.

“Basically, certain information is necessary if you want to use many of our products and services.”

What that means: A click in one product can later be used to block a lawsuit about a park, store, or different service.

Accepting this document can bind you beyond this app — including physical venues or sister brands.

High cost

Location or sensitive-data over-collection

You are agreeing that the company may collect location or other sensitive data.

“You can also choose to share your current precise location or places where you’ve previously used X by enabling these settings in your account.”

What that means: Higher-risk details about you can be stored and shared under the same broad terms.

The company collects location or other sensitive categories of data.

High cost

Health or fitness data used beyond care

You are agreeing that the company may collect or share health or fitness data.

“Information about our handling of “Consumer Health Data” and associated requests as defined under Washington State’s My Health My Data Act and other similar state laws is available here.”

What that means: Wellness details can be stored or shared with partners you did not choose.

The document describes collecting or sharing health or fitness data beyond running the core service.

Medium cost

Children’s data

You are agreeing to terms that may still collect or retain data about children.

“X's Audience Our services are not directed to children, and you may not use our services if you are under the age of 13.”

What that means: A child’s account or device can still generate a data trail.

The document addresses children but may still collect or retain youth data.

If these terms already apply to you

Keep this list. Fineprint cannot undo or cancel something you already agreed to at the company.

We cannot see Agree on their site. With Premium, tap “I accepted these terms” if you already agreed to what X asks.

  4. First reading · Terms of use

    We read the X terms of use

    This document establishes the binding rules for using X and its network of apps and business tools. It grants X permanent rights to your posts, caps their financial responsibility to you at a small amount, and counts as acceptance for future updates simply by keeping your account active. You also agree to resolve disputes in specific locations rather than joining a group lawsuit, unless regional laws prevent it.
