Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Layman's Terms is an AI-powered tool designed to help users understand Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policies, subscription agreements, and other legal documents in plain English.

2. Information you provide

When you paste or submit text into Layman's Terms, we process that text to generate summaries, risk scores, red flags, and plain English explanations.

You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information, private financial information, medical records, passwords, government IDs, or anything you would not want processed by an AI system.

3. Information we may collect automatically

We may collect basic technical information such as browser type, device information, pages visited, general usage activity, error logs, and approximate location based on standard analytics tools.

4. How we use information

We may use information to:

• Provide document summaries and AI-powered analysis.
• Improve the product, website, and browser extension.
• Monitor performance, bugs, and security issues.
• Prevent misuse, fraud, or abuse of the service.
• Communicate important product or account updates.

5. AI processing

Layman's Terms uses AI models to analyze submitted text. The document text you submit may be sent to third-party AI infrastructure providers for processing. We do not recommend submitting highly sensitive personal documents.

6. Browser extension permissions

The Layman's Terms browser extension may read visible page text only when needed to analyze a document or when you choose to scan a page. The extension is intended to help detect and summarize legal language such as Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies.

7. Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the product, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, payment processors, and AI processing providers.

8. Payments and subscriptions

If paid plans are offered, payment details may be handled by a third-party payment processor. Layman's Terms should not directly store full credit card numbers.

9. Data retention

We aim to keep personal information only as long as needed to provide the service, improve the product, comply with legal obligations, or protect the service from misuse.

10. Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, deletion, correction, or information about how your personal information is used. To make a request, contact us using the email listed below.

11. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no website, app, extension, or internet transmission is completely secure.

12. Children's privacy

Layman's Terms is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. If we make major changes, we will update the date above and may provide additional notice.
