Problem

Below is a list of typos, questionable/opinionated punctuation, and such that I found while reading through the privacy policy and terms & conditions for a free Android/iOS app with no PII, and no third parties beyond Google Play.

  • I'm an individual, Ross Llewallyn, but regularly "we", "us", and "our" are used. I'm not sure what the right answer is here.
  • Periods after the effect dates might be good?
  • "that you have provided to us, to provide my Service" - comma splicy? Consider "to us in order to provide"?
  • "It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features, and interfere with the proper working of the XYZ app." - changed the third entry in the list to be parallel to the first two
  • "Link to the ABC of third-party service providers used by the app" - add colon?
  • "if you don’t have access to either Wi-Fi or any remaining data allowance." - rephrased; seemed simpler to me
  • "For example, you need to make sure that your device stays charged" - instead of "i.e." with only one example that isn't in parentheses
  • "the both systems(and for any additional systems" - missing space before parenthesis
  • "when offered to you, We may also wish" - comma should be period
  • "wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate" - remove comma which is unnecessary?

Good questions and thank you for raising them.

I have ran the generated privacy policy text through Grammarly in the past (https://github.com/nisrulz/app-privacy-policy-generator/pull/111). So I will review each of your question and check it individually to start a PR with fixes. From the looks of it, some are easier to fix and some are a bit ambiguous.

Once again, thanks for bringing it up. Everyone benefits from these at the end 😸

Thanks for taking my suggestions! Please note that some quotes are from the text followed by my comment/question, but other quotes are my attempt to correct something followed by me saying what I changed.

I'm hoping that all are pretty searchable in the code base to find where to change something if needed.
