Plain Language Summary
These Terms of Use govern your access to PrivacyHawk's public website, not its separate services. Users must be at least 13 years old and agree to strict rules, including prohibitions on scraping, data mining, or using website content for AI training. The terms include a binding arbitration agreement, a class action waiver, and a jury trial waiver, with disputes resolved in California. PrivacyHawk can change the terms and terminate website access at any time without notice, and user submissions grant the company a broad, perpetual license.
