The court of law governing the terms is in a jurisdiction that is less friendly to user privacy protection (Texas, USA)

This Service may employ, either identifiable or non-identifiable, data collection from third party sources about you.
You waive your right to a class action.
The right to be represented in a class action (or representative action) exists in the US and some European countries. It allows people who have been similarly injured by the same accused to take legal action by a single lawsuit instead of individually. Some Terms of Service try to limit that right. By agreeing to them, you could waive (= renounce to) your right to a class action, which might reduce your chances to be successful in a case.
Instead of asking directly, this Service will assume your consent merely from your usage.
The Service infers your acceptance from your continued usage, instead of prompting you to read the new Terms and asking for direct consent. This doesn’t apply to services that have no way to seek consent from users through their contact details or an account.
