FAQ
What counts as a "material" change?
Changes that affect how your data is used, shared, or retained — like new third-party sharing, new data collection, or changed retention periods — as opposed to purely cosmetic wording changes.
Does this compare legal language automatically?
It compares the text you paste and flags likely-material differences; always read the full updated policy yourself for anything flagged as changed.
Is this legal advice?
No — this helps you spot changes worth reading closely, but it isn't a substitute for legal review of a policy's terms.
