Most users never read what they agree to.

In the digital world, the fine print disappears. Most people click agree without reading it. That gap is where rights quietly get signed away — and it's the gap every Megistus project is built to close. Informed consent is the foundation of data ownership, and the first step is naming exactly what users are saying yes to.

1. Exhibit

   01

   HARVESTED

   

   "We may share information about you with our trusted partners, affiliates, and third-party service providers to improve and personalize your experience."

   What it actually means

   Your life is their inventory.

   Your location, your search history, your kid's bedtime — bundled, brokered, and resold to insurers, employers, and ad networks you've never heard of.

2. Exhibit

   02

   OVERWRITTEN

   "We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or remove your content and account at any time, without notice, in our sole discretion."

   What it actually means

   They own the master. You hold a guest pass.

   That photo, that record, that document — they can edit it, lose it, or take it away. You find out the day it's gone.

3. Exhibit

   03

   SILENCED

   "You agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration and waive your right to participate in any class action."

   What it actually means

   You can't sue. You can't even join in.

   If they breach your data, leak your records, or wrong you outright — your only recourse is a private arbitrator. Picked by them. On their turf.

4. Exhibit

   04

   BILLED

   "At the end of the trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to the paid plan at the then-current rate."

   What it actually means

   The free trial is the trap.

   A box you didn't check, in a menu you didn't open, enrolls you in a monthly charge that outlives forgotten emails and replaced cards.

5. Exhibit

   05

   REWRITTEN

   "We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms."

   What it actually means

   The contract you signed expired Tuesday.

   The rules can change with no email, no banner, no signature — and by the time you open the app again, you've already agreed to the new ones.

6. Exhibit

   06

   LEAKED

   

   "We shall not be liable for any unauthorized access to your personal information resulting from a breach of our security measures."

   What it actually means

   Your name on the next breach list.

   Email + birthday + address is enough for a scammer to clone you. Combined with broker data, your phone won't stop ringing for a year.

Our side of the fine print.

Here is how Megistus answers each of those clauses, in our own terms.

1. Harvested. We don't sell your information or share it for anyone else's use. The few providers that run the site use it only to run it.
2. Overwritten. You own the code, data and documentation we build for you, with no licence fees on your own work.
3. Silenced. Our client agreements have no forced arbitration and no class-action waiver.
4. Billed. No auto-renewing trials. Ongoing advisory is month to month, and you can cancel any time.
5. Rewritten. Before an important change to our privacy policy, we post a notice on this site for 30 days and email anyone we're in touch with.
6. Leaked. No system is perfectly secure, so we won't claim ours is. If a breach affects your information, we tell you promptly.

The details are in our privacy policy, written in plain English.
