# Why does Storage Studio ask me to accept terms when I first open it?

The Welcome & Terms screen asks you to accept the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer before you use the app. It appears on first install, and again only if those documents change.

You can reread them any time:

- In the app: **More → Legal**, which opens the Terms, Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, Security Policy and third-party notices exactly as you accepted them.
- On the web: [Terms of Service](https://storagestudio.us/legal/terms) and [Privacy Policy](https://storagestudio.us/legal/privacy).

**Settings → Consent & Legal** keeps your record of which versions you accepted, with **Read**, **Open in browser** and **Save a copy…** for each one.
