Impact on compliance

Achievements

  • On 1 December 2023, the European Commission officially launched a new database based on Open Terms Archive to track the terms and conditions of digital services.
  • In November 2022, the European Commission has finalised a report using Open Terms Archive to conduct a large-scale assessment of compliance with the P2B Regulation.
  • In January 2022, Open Terms Archive was cited as example in support of the TLDR Act (for Terms-of-service Labeling, Design, and Readability), a US bill co-sponsored by Congresswoman Lori Trahan (D-MA-03), Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) to enforce the publication of summaries of terms of use in machine-readable formats.
  • Since September 2020, the French Center of expertise for digital platform regulation (PEReN) uses Open Terms Archive as part of its toolset.
