Evidence before confidence
Important findings should point to an exact source quote, not ask users to trust a mysterious score.
About Privy
The fine print should not require a law degree to understand.
Privy exists because important consumer decisions are often buried inside documents designed for completeness, not clarity.
The consumer problem
Clicking Accept can change more than people realize
Subscription rules, data sharing, arbitration, liability limits, account termination, and content licenses can materially affect a person long after signup.
Reading every legal document line by line is unrealistic. Ignoring it entirely leaves people exposed to terms they never meaningfully understood. Privy narrows that gap by highlighting consequential language, explaining its practical effect, and keeping the source evidence beside the explanation.
It is a decision-support tool, not a substitute for the original document or professional legal advice.
Product principles
Built for trust, not spectacle
The product is designed around a few durable rules.
Consequences before jargon
Explain what a clause can mean for a person's money, data, rights, account, or ability to cancel.
Action before automation
Local detection can help quietly. Sending document text for analysis requires the user's explicit choice.
Limits stated plainly
AI can miss context or get things wrong. The website and product should say so without burying the caveat.
Useful history, under control
Reports can be searched, filtered, revisited, exported, and removed from active account history.
Claims that match the product
No fabricated statistics, unsupported certifications, or features advertised before they work.
