WhyMyTerms
Every site on the Internet makes you accept a policy you didn’t write and can’t change. MyTerms is the standard that turns it around — you offer the agreement, and they accept it.
You agree to
their terms.
–>
They agree to yours.
WITH MyTerms – Your Selected Term
“Don’t track me off of your site, and do not let anyone else track me on it. Keep only what you need to serve me, nothing more.”
________________
Signed: by both parties.
Held by: by both, identically
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01
Pick a term
Choose one agreement from a short public list – plain English, maintained by a nonprofit, not by the sites you visit.
STEP 02
Your side offers it
Your browser or agent proffers your term when you arrive. You are the first party. You don’t click anything.
STEP 03
Both sides sign
The site accepts, both parties sign, and you each keep the same record – retrievable, auditable, disputable later.

WHY NOW
When your agent shops, someone has to say what it may keep.
For thirty years the answer to “what may this company do with my data?” was a policy you didn’t read and a banner you clicked away. That was survivable while a human was doing the clicking.
It stops being survivable when an AI agent is doing the shopping. An agent can’t click through a consent dialogue on your behalf in any meaningful sense — it needs a machine-readable statement of what you’ll accept, offered before the transaction, and a record afterwards that both sides can produce.
That is exactly what IEEE 7012 specifies. Which means the businesses that can accept terms machine-to-machine will be transactable by agents, and the ones that can’t will simply be skipped.
