🎯 Why This Exists

In today's digital landscape, users often accept lengthy Terms of Service and Privacy Policies without reading them, exposing themselves to serious privacy risks that threaten their personal data and digital rights.

Real-World Examples:

Roborock (2024, South Korea)

• Changed their privacy policy to collect and process user data in China
• Most users were unaware because they didn't read the policy updates

WhatsApp (2021, Global)

• Announced mandatory data sharing with Facebook without opt-out option
• Caused massive backlash, resulting in 4.6M users migrating to Signal and 5M+ to Telegram within days
• Policy implementation was delayed 3 months due to public outcry

The Problem: People don't read terms because they're too long and complex. But that's exactly when companies slip in concerning changes.

The Solution: TL;DR Terms uses AI to read, analyze, and grade terms of service for you.
