Terms of Service Red Flags Checker

Terms of Service are intentionally long and complex. Most people click "I agree" without reading a word. Here's what companies often hide in the fine print:

• Perpetual license to your content — many apps claim the right to use your photos, posts, and data forever, even after you delete your account.
• Mandatory arbitration clauses — you give up your right to sue in court and must use a private arbitrator, usually one chosen by the company.
• Class action waivers — prevents you from joining other users in a lawsuit, even if the company harms millions of people the same way.
• Data sharing with third parties — broad language that allows selling or sharing your personal data with advertisers and partners.
• Unilateral changes — the company can change the terms at any time, and continued use means you automatically agree.
• Account termination without cause — the company can delete your account and data at any time for any reason.

Generic text summarizers treat a Terms of Service document like a news article. They summarize the words without understanding the legal implications. Our tool is specifically trained to identify legally significant clauses in ToS documents and explain what they mean for you as a user.

Social media platforms, free apps, and data-driven businesses tend to have the most user-unfriendly terms. The free product is usually you — your data, your attention, your content. Our tool helps you understand exactly what you're trading away when you click agree.

These are two different documents. Terms of Service govern how you can use the product. Privacy policies govern how your data is collected, used, and shared. Our tool handles both — paste either one and select Terms of Service as the document type.
