T&C Reader — Know What You Agree To

T&C Reader addresses a familiar problem: almost nobody reads the terms and privacy policies they agree to. The extension scans the policy on whatever site you are visiting, produces an A–F letter grade, and breaks that grade into four sub-scores covering data protection, legal compliance, readability and fairness. Instead of vague warnings, it points to the specific sentence behind each finding so you can verify the judgment yourself.

The extension flags a wide set of common red flags, including data selling, forced arbitration, class-action waivers, auto-renewal traps, trials that convert into charges, no-refund policies, AI training on your content, and broad rights over user posts. You can also ask direct questions such as "Can I get a refund?" or "Do they sell my data?" and receive short answers quoted from the policy. Summaries and answers are available in English, Amharic, Arabic, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Portuguese, and a small badge appears on sign-up forms and policy pages so you know a grade is available before you click accept.

T&C Reader is free and works immediately after installation with no account. Privacy is treated as a first principle: browsing history is not stored, grade lookups send only a bare domain, and analysis runs on public policy text. Users who prefer their own provider can supply a Google Gemini, OpenAI or Claude API key, which is encrypted in the browser and never transmitted to the developer. The extension also strips hidden text designed to trick AI reviewers and derives grades from fixed rules applied to cited text rather than model sentiment. It explains policies but is not legal advice.
