Terms of Service

In order to meet the requirement of GDPR that you are transparent about how you handle data on your website, Nextcloud offers the possibility to set a Terms of Use. We cannot help with writing your rules of the game, but here is how to configure it.

This feature is available as an App. If you'd like to use it, please, consult your provider of the App availability on your Nextcloud version. We are happy to enable it for you, if it's available.

Configuration
