Apple

↗ apple.com

Apple gives itself sweeping power to terminate your account, revoke purchased content, shut down services, and change terms at any time with little or no direct notice to you, and your ability to sue over any of this is heavily restricted by short deadlines, geographic limitations, and broad liability caps as low as $100. Purchases are largely final, refunds are discretionary, and Apple can automatically charge any saved payment card without asking. On the privacy side, Apple genuinely stands out in a positive way, committing not to sell your data, minimizing collection, requiring court orders before sharing with governments, and giving you tools to access or delete your information. The overall picture is a company with strong privacy practices but terms of service that heavily favor Apple over users when it comes to account control, content ownership, and legal recourse.
