How it works

ToS;DR aims to provide easy-to-understand summaries of Privacy Policies and Terms of Service through a transparent and peer-reviewed process.

Terms of service are reviewed by volunteer contributors, who highlight small points that we can discuss, compare and ultimately assign a score: "good", "neutral", "bad", and scariest of all, "blocker".

Once a service has enough points to assess the fairness of their terms, we use a formula to provide ratings from Grade A to Grade E:

Grade A — The terms of service treat you fairly, respect your rights, and will not abuse your data.
Grade B — The terms of service are fair towards the user but they could be improved.
Grade C — The terms of service are okay but some issues need your consideration.
Grade D — The terms of service are very uneven, or there are some important issues that need your attention.
Grade E — The terms of service raise very serious concerns.
No Grade Yet — Not enough information exists to accurately grade this service yet.

Right now you will notice that many services do not yet have a grade assigned. This is where you come in! Help us analyse more documents so that we may increase our coverage.
