As described here by Doc Searls, "MyTerms describes how the sites and services of the world agree to your terms, rather than the other way around." To start the process, a set of five simple sets of terms are made available (a model popularized by Creative Commons). You can choose between 'service delivery only' (aka SD-BASE), 'data portability', 'data use for AI training', 'data for good', and 'data for intentcasting'. Of course, with websites like mine, I don't collect any data, there's no cookies, no accounts, no surveillance and definitely no adtech. If you want me to send you email, you tell me your email address. That's it. You don't want email any more, I forget your email address. The point of 'MyTerms' (like Creative Commons) is to facilitate commercial use, under the heading of 'free'. My version of 'free' is 'free from all this'.
