I think you're probably right about the intention. The trouble is that the enrollment website (equifaxsecurity2017.com) has a TOS link that goes to the regular Equifax TOS. These TOS claim to apply to several listed websites
> "AND ALL OTHER WEBSITES OWNED AND OPERATED BY EQUIFAX AND ITS AFFILIATES".
So this would mean that the general TOS would apply to the Trusted ID site also.
And while some parts of this TOS make it seem like it would only apply if you purchase and use a product (which is inapplicable to the Trusted ID program, which is free), other parts make it seem like it applies beyond purchases, to any use:
> YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY USING OR PAYING FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR TAKING OTHER ACTIONS THAT INDICATE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
So it's a big mess, and probably unintentionally so, from the looks of the legal docs.
