The short version

• Squinty only sends a document when you click Review.
• We never sell your data, show ads, or track you across sites.
• Your emails, selected text, PDFs, and uploaded files or photos are reviewed and then discarded.
• We don't ask for your name or email. A random ID counts your free reviews.

What Squinty is

Squinty is a browser extension that reads terms of service, privacy policies, policy emails, and financial offers, then grades them and explains what they mean in plain language.

What we collect

The document you ask us to review. When you click Review, Squinty sends the document's text (or the PDF, or the photos you upload), its page title, and its web address to the Squinty server.

A random install ID. When you install Squinty, it creates a random code that isn't connected to your name, email, or accounts. The server uses it to count how many free reviews you've used this week, and to count how many installs are in use, as totals only. Weekly counts are deleted automatically after 10 days.

Your state stays on your device. If you set it, Squinty uses it in your browser to show the parts of a policy that apply where you live. It is never sent to our server.

Uninstall feedback, only if you send it. When you remove Squinty, a page asks why. If you answer, we count the reason you pick and keep any note you write for up to 180 days. It isn't linked to you.

Your email, only if you join the Pro waitlist on getsquinty.com. We send one confirmation when you sign up and one email when Pro launches, and we'll delete your address any time you ask. Emails are sent through Cloudflare.

No cookies. getsquinty.com doesn't use cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts, so there's nothing to accept or reject.

Nothing else. We don't collect your browsing history, contacts, location, or account details, and we don't use analytics or advertising trackers.

How a review works

The Squinty server sends the document to Anthropic, the company that makes the Claude AI model, which produces the review. Anthropic processes the document under its commercial terms and privacy policy, which you can read at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

What we keep

Public web pages: when you review a policy on a public website, we save the review (not your identity) for up to 45 days. If someone else reviews the same policy, they get the saved review instantly and it doesn't count against their limit. Before a review is saved by its web address, the Squinty server opens that public page itself, without any of your information, to confirm it shows the same text.

Popular policies: Squinty also keeps reviews of the policies of popular apps and sites. The server checks those public pages about once a week and reviews them again only when they change.

Private documents: emails, text you select, PDFs, and files or photos you upload are never saved on our server. Once the review is sent back to you, they're gone.

Your review history is stored only in your own browser. You can clear it any time in Squinty's settings, and uninstalling Squinty removes it.

Page access

Squinty installs without access to any website. When you click its icon, it can read that one page. If you choose to allow broader access, Squinty can read the pages you open so it can spot policies and light up its icon. That check happens inside your browser. Nothing leaves your computer until you click Review.

Who we share with

Only the service providers needed to run Squinty: Anthropic, which generates reviews, and Cloudflare, which hosts the Squinty server and handles basic connection information such as IP addresses to deliver the service. We don't store IP addresses ourselves. We never sell or rent your data.

Children

Squinty isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects what we collect or keep, we'll explain it inside Squinty before it takes effect.
