We may not think of it this way, but this seems like correct legalese for any sort of assistant app, whether it takes your username and password, or you give it an API key.
Are you looking to expand into the UK any time soon? I would be interested in using it.

This. BTW, is anyone aware of a legalese parser and translator? Because I think it would be a hit.

I think this might (should?) be standard phrasing for any app that accesses another company's API on your behalf... We may not think of it this way, but this seems like correct legalese for any sort of assistant app, whether it takes your username and password, or you give it an API key.
One thing to clarify: it's just me and one other guy (imalex) working on this, although we're hoping to hire another person soon. We're not trying to screw anyone over with the privacy policy. We just don't know anything about legalese, so we relied on existing terminology.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
