ESPN

​

Like Twitter, this site probably has more information on me than just about any other. So goes the bargain these days for self-curated content and a passion for sports. ESPN consumers benefit by being under the Disney umbrella because the terms are fairly user friendly on the web, especially the privacy section. Disney provides you a landing page with links to specific sections of the terms and links to the full version  if you want to read in full. The landing page has some icons for Disney family members but you have to go further to see a full list. In fact, while I was compiling the full terms I had 4 tabs (Terms, Privacy, Definitions, CA Privacy Rights) open in a browser, not counting the actual page I wanted to view. This is the effect of linking to separate provisions that are material to the overall agreement, no matter how clearly they may be presented separately.
