PRIVACY POLICY
What is the Biggest Lie on the Internet? “I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.”
In a recent study using a fictitious social media site, 98% of the people missed the ‘gotcha clauses’ in the terms of service “about data sharing with the NSA and employers, and about providing a first-born child as payment.”
Our privacy policy is short and in plain English. If you have any questions, you can contact us at support@officialstatusapp.com
