Privacy & Support

What Terms Agent does

Terms Agent helps people assess Terms of Service, privacy policies, cookie notices, and related agreements before recording their own decision.

Information the extension handles

When the user clicks the extension, Terms Agent temporarily reads website content and the page address in that active tab so it can identify potentially important clauses, link findings to their source text, and locate related policies. This processing occurs locally on the user’s device; Terms Agent does not persistently access every website.

When a user records a decision, Terms Agent stores a local Trust Receipt using Chrome’s local extension storage. A receipt may contain the website domain and policy address, policy title and effective date, the user’s Agree or Disagree decision, detected threat categories, source excerpts, a hash of the assessed policy text, the analyzer version, and the time of the decision. The extension also stores local appearance preferences.

How information is used

The information is used only to provide the extension’s policy-assessment, source-linking, theme, and Trust Receipt features. Terms Agent does not use browsing activity or website content for advertising, profiling, creditworthiness, or unrelated purposes.

Sharing and transmission

The Chrome Web Store preview performs its policy analysis locally. It does not send website content, browsing history, Trust Receipts, or user decisions to the developer or third parties. It does not sell user data.

Storage and deletion

Information is stored in Chrome’s local extension storage on the user’s device. Users can delete individual Trust Receipts from the extension’s Trust Receipts page. Removing the extension through Chrome also removes its local extension storage according to Chrome’s behavior.

Permissions

Terms Agent uses activeTab and scripting to temporarily assess the current page and highlight exact source passages only after the user clicks the extension. It uses storage for local preferences and Trust Receipts. It does not request persistent access to every website or access to authentication credentials, payment information, email, contacts, or files.

Security

Terms Agent minimizes stored information and keeps the public preview’s assessment and receipt data on the user’s device. No security method can guarantee absolute protection, but the extension is designed to avoid transmitting this information in the public preview.

Changes

If a future release introduces external data transmission or materially different data practices, this policy and the Chrome Web Store disclosures will be updated before that functionality is released, and any required user notice or consent will be provided.

Support

Questions, bug reports, and privacy requests may be sent through the support contact provided on the Terms Agent Chrome Web Store listing.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
