Know what "I agree" really means — for any app or website
Terms of service are written to be skipped. Before you click accept on a social network, streaming service, crypto exchange, online store, or SaaS tool, the AI summarizes what you're actually agreeing to: whether your data is collected and sold, who owns the content you upload, forced arbitration that removes your right to sue, one-sided account termination, and subscription terms designed to make cancelling painful. Works on privacy policies and EULAs from any company, in any language.
The terms & privacy clauses that actually matter
Nobody reads the terms of service — which is exactly why the important clauses live there. When you decode a ToS or privacy policy, look for these:
- Data selling and sharing. Whether your personal data is sold or shared with third parties, and how to opt out.
- Content licensing. Language granting the company broad rights to content you upload — sometimes even after you delete it.
- Arbitration and class-action waivers. Clauses that strip your right to sue or join a group claim.
- Unilateral changes. "We may change these terms at any time" — meaning the agreement you accepted can shift without real notice.
- Account termination. The conditions under which they can suspend or delete your account, and what happens to your data if they do.
How to check a terms of service yourself
- Search the document for "data," "third parties," "arbitration," "license" and "terminate" — those five words find most of the traps.
- Ask what you're giving up — rights, data, or content — in exchange for the service.
- Note the opt-outs and whether they're realistic to use.
- Run it through FinePrint for a plain-English summary of what you're really agreeing to, with the risky clauses flagged.
