- The terms and privacy policy name no representative or responsible person
- Japanese terms and a Japanese privacy policy exist, but the official site's top page links to the English versions
- The official site gives no paid-plan amounts. The terms say prices vary by region and are shown inside the service
- The terms say it collects a date of birth at sign-up and uses automated and manual moderation to find underage users, and that it does not independently verify that the date of birth is accurate
