WELCOME TO THE COMMONS
Restoring the balance of power, respect and trust between individuals and organizations that serve them.

We Stand for MyTerms™

Customer Commons believes in, and our members worked for, the publication in January 2026 of the IEEE 7012-2025 Standard for Machine Readable Personal Privacy Terms. We believe in it so much, we coined the name ‘MyTerms’ and we have registered the trademark. We did this because we feel the digital world we live in, and spend so much of our time in, is not the one we were promised. It is clearly broken: surveillance everywhere, endless spam, AI slop, manipulative attempts to sell more stuff, and widespread fraud. Join us in tackling that head-on with MyTerms. MyTerms creates a subset of the Internet where personal data exchange is transparent and fair, and where surveillance simply is not part of the deal.

Creating a world of liberated, powerful and respected customers

The Journey Continues After 7012

We are planning to release more agreements as we approach the finalization of the IEEE P7012 Standard for Machine Readable Personal Privacy Terms . This initiative is currently has a demo #NoStalking, and we encourage your participation and feedback to help shape its development.

Explore and Choose Your Agreement—Your agreement, your control.

Terms ➤ Agreements

Previously, individual terms were used to define specific conditions within our frameworks. However, we have evolved our approach to encompass these terms within broader, more comprehensive agreements. 

Our Principles

Three of the Principles governing Customer Commons are Independence, Autonomy, and Getting Stuff Done

Independence

Proffer your own terms, explore a revitalized digital commercial landscape, and keep your whereabouts to yourself.

Autonomy

Evade intrusive ads that follow you around online. Instead, communicate exactly what you want to businesses that want to hear from you.

It's Your Move: "Get stuff Done"

Accomplish your work, follow your muse, do what you want to do. Not what Internet giants would have you do for them.
