Do you have experience with any of these?

I’m interested in tools that highlight privacy invasive terms and conditions that are often hidden behind legal jargon or wrapped up in so much text that the end user is discouraged to actually read through the terms of service and/or the privacy policy.

    While these tools are nice to get a jist of things they are prone to mistakes and misinterpration. You should not be relying on them if your threat model requires you actually know what data your giving away instead of just being curious.

      The website is extremely opinionated IMO, which just goes to show how important it is to read the ToS and not a TLDR.
