Online Terms of Service Transparency: Short Summaries and Data Flow Diagrams.

This law mandates that large online companies provide short, easy-to-read summaries of their Terms of Service (ToS). Citizens will quickly understand what sensitive data is collected, how it is shared with third parties, and what legal rights they waive, such as the right to a class action lawsuit. The goal is to increase transparency and user control over online privacy.
Key points
Companies must provide short, readable summaries of their terms of service, detailing key information about user data and rights.
Introduction of graphic diagrams showing how users' sensitive data is shared with affiliates and external third parties.
Summaries must disclose waivers of rights (e.g., mandatory arbitration) and list data breaches reported in the last three years.
