EDRLab: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

EDRLab is one of the main contributors to [[Readium]] LCP DRM. Their EPUB reader application, Thorium Reader, which uses LCP, does claims to be private, yet it has "non-personal" data collection that the user cannot opt out of. It also contacts EDRLab's servers every time the application is started.

This is not apparent, since Thorium's installer doesn't inform the user of this, there are no "agree/disagree" options and Thorium's interface does not directly link to either the Terms of service or the Privacy policy (see [[EDRLab#User not clearly presented with terms]]. Users also wouldn't be notified if the privacy policy were to change, since that would require them to manually check the Privacy policy page for updates.

Users also wouldn't be notified if the privacy policy were to change, since that would require them to manually check the Privacy policy page for updates.

The Terms of service also mentions that the user agrees to "indemnify and hold harmless the EDRLab" even for "alleged" breaches by the user of the Terms of service. It is also stated that "EDRLab Parties have the right to monitor the use of the Application."
