Trust Layer scans website privacy policies and shows a simple privacy risk score. Trust Layer reads website privacy policies and gives you a simple, human-readable verdict before you click “I agree”. Instead of pages of legal text, you see: • A privacy score from 1 (bad) to 10 (good) • A risk label: SAFE, CAUTION, or HIGH RISK • Short bullet points about what happens to your data • A one-line recommendation in normal language HOW IT WORKS 1. You open a website and click the Trust Layer icon. 2. Trust Layer finds the site’s privacy policy or terms link. 3. It sends the policy URL to a backend service. 4. The backend: • Downloads the policy text • Uses an AI model to analyze it • Returns a structured summary: score, risk band, categories, bullets, recommendation 5. The extension shows you: • A semi-circle gauge (1 = red, 10 = green) • A SAFE / CAUTION / HIGH RISK badge • Category chips (data sharing, tracking, AI, retention, security, user rights) • Short, plain-language bullets and a suggestion WHAT TRUST LAYER LOOKS AT Trust Layer focuses on: • Data sharing: who your data is shared with • Tracking & profiling: cross-site, cross-device tracking and personalization • AI & model training: whether your data is used to train models or AI systems • Data retention: how long your data is kept • Security & breaches: security practices and breach handling • User control & rights: delete/export options, opt-outs, consent controls. DATA & PRIVACY • The extension sends only the privacy policy URL to the backend. • The backend fetches the policy directly from the site. • It does not receive your passwords, card numbers, or form inputs. • It uses the OpenAI API to analyze the text and generate the summary. WHAT TRUST LAYER IS NOT • Not a lawyer and not legal advice. • Not a formal privacy audit. • It can be wrong or incomplete, especially on very long or vague policies. Use Trust Layer as: • A quick “vibe check” before signing up • A way to understand privacy tradeoffs in plain language • A layer of awareness when you give sites access to your data
