TermsCheck Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 July 2026

What TermsCheck does

TermsCheck is a browser extension that points out clauses worth noting in a website's Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. Its analysis is generated in advance and bundled into the extension itself, so when you visit a covered site, the extension simply looks up an entry in a file it already carries. It does not send the page you are on, or anything else, to any server.

Data we collect

None. Specifically:

• We do not collect your browsing history, page contents, or URLs.
• We do not collect names, email addresses, or any other personal information.
• We do not use analytics, telemetry, tracking pixels, or crash reporting.
• We do not use cookies.
• There are no user accounts, and there is nothing to sign up for.

Data stored on your device

TermsCheck uses your browser's local extension storage to remember which sites you have dismissed a notice on, so it does not show you the same notice twice. This information stays on your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and is deleted when you uninstall the extension.

Network requests

The extension makes no network requests of any kind while running. You can verify this yourself in your browser's developer tools: open the Network panel on any page and you will see no requests originating from TermsCheck.

Permissions

• storage — to remember dismissed notices locally, as described above.
• activeTab — to read the address of the tab you are currently on when you click the TermsCheck icon, so the popup can show you the entry for that site. This is granted only at the moment you click the icon.
• Site access — the extension runs only on the specific list of websites it has entries for. It is not granted access to every site you visit.

Third parties

TermsCheck has no third-party integrations, no advertising, and no data-sharing arrangements of any kind. Because no data is collected, there is nothing to share or sell.

Children

TermsCheck is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone, including children.

Not legal advice

TermsCheck is a reading aid. It highlights passages from published terms and shows you the original wording alongside them so you can read it yourself. It does not provide legal advice, is not a substitute for a lawyer, and should not be relied upon as a legal assessment of any agreement.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date above. Because the extension collects no data, any change is likely to be clarification rather than a change in practice.
