# Summarize Terms of Service and privacy policies before clicking 'Accept'.

Highlight data-sharing, AI model training, arbitration, and cancellation clauses on any Terms of Service or Privacy Policy page and get an instant plain-language audit on screen.

> **Best fit:** Best for privacy-conscious users, IT buyers, and researchers auditing how a website or SaaS tool handles user data and billing.

## Live Webpage Walkthrough

- **Source:** SaaS Vendor Privacy Policy — Section 4: AI & Machine Learning (`example-app.com/privacy`)
- **Recommended Context Mode:** Detailed

**Highlighted Passage:**
> We may use Customer Content and usage telemetry to develop, train, and improve our generalized machine learning models and service offerings unless Customer has opted out via an Enterprise Addendum.

**User Question (Shortcut):** "Does this mean my uploaded files are used to train their public AI models on the self-serve Pro plan?"

**Vezz me On-Screen Answer:**
Yes. Under this clause:
1. Default behavior: Self-serve Free and Pro accounts are opted IN to having their uploaded content ('Customer Content') used to train the vendor's generalized AI models.
2. Opt-out requirement: Only customers who sign a separate 'Enterprise Addendum' are excluded from model training.

**Suggested Follow-Ups:**
- "Does this policy mention how long Customer Content is retained after account deletion?"
- "Which sub-processors or third parties receive data under this policy?"
- "Draft a 2-sentence email to their support team asking to opt out of model training."

## Step-by-step workflow

1. **Jump to the high-risk sections**: Use Ctrl+F on any policy page for `train`, `third parties`, `retain`, `arbitration`, or `auto-renew`, then highlight that section.
2. **Press Ctrl+Shift+X to extract the real policy**: Ask Vezz me what the company actually permits itself to do underneath the reassuring introductory sentences.
3. **Check opt-out requirements**: Ask whether privacy protections apply by default or require a manual settings toggle or enterprise contract.

## Spot 'reassurance washing' in privacy policies

Many privacy policies start a paragraph with 'We care deeply about your privacy and never sell your data' and end the same paragraph with broad sharing exceptions.

- Distinguish between 'selling data for cash' and 'sharing data with advertising or AI training partners'
- Check whether 'anonymized or aggregated data' is defined broadly enough to include your prompts or files
- Verify exact retention windows (e.g., 30 days vs indefinite backups)

## Audit cancellation and refund rules before subscribing

Before entering a credit card on a new SaaS tool, highlight the Billing & Cancellation section of their Terms.

- Check whether annual plans auto-renew without advance email notice
- Check whether cancelling revokes access immediately or at the end of the billing cycle
- Keep the policy text right beside the Vezz me answer to confirm every detail
