How it works
Privacy policies are written to be long and skimmed past, not read. This tool feeds the policy text to an AI model instructed to flag genuinely concerning clauses — data being sold to third parties, no clear deletion rights, unusually broad data collection — rather than just restating the document.
It also notes any genuinely user-friendly practices it finds, since not every policy is bad news. This is a starting point for understanding what you're agreeing to, not a legal opinion.
Frequently asked questions
Can this tool tell me if a policy is legally compliant?
No — it's not a legal compliance check. It uses an AI model to flag clauses that are commonly concerning to read (data selling, vague retention, broad third-party sharing), which is useful context but not a substitute for legal review.
Why did it flag something that seems standard?
Some data practices (like sharing data with 'service providers' or 'affiliates') are extremely common and not inherently alarming — the tool flags language patterns worth your attention, but you should read the actual flagged clause yourself to judge whether it's a real concern for your situation.
