What it does

Audit Terms of Service, user agreements, and privacy policies for consumer risks, producing a structured report that flags unfair clauses, data traps, and liability issues. Trigger when a user asks to review, audit, or analyze a ToS, privacy policy, or user agreement, or mentions specific concerns like auto-renewal or data authorization.

Terms of Service Auditor (Consumer Perspective)

Systematically audit the Terms of Service, User Agreements, and Privacy Policies of apps, SaaS products, and platforms from an ordinary consumer's standpoint. Identify clauses that may harm consumer rights and produce an actionable audit report.

Quick Start

Paste the terms text directly to the Agent or provide a file path. The Agent will automatically complete the audit and output a structured report.

Example prompts:

  • "Review this user agreement for any unfair or one-sided clauses"
  • "Analyze this app's privacy policy and flag any covert data authorizations"
  • "Does this ToS have auto-renewal traps?"
