CONSENT / ToS CLAUSE

The ToS AI Clause Translator: What Your Data Actually Trains.

The clause about AI and your data is written to be skipped. The translator turns it into plain statements: what you grant, what trains on it, and what you can revoke.

Why the clause is the part to read

The AI clause is where the real grant lives: a license to use your content, language about training models on it, and — sometimes — the opt-out that would change it. The rest of the document is mostly definitions; this clause is the deal.

The translation is narrow and plain: what you are granting, whether your content trains a model, how long the grant lasts, and whether you can revoke or opt out. Those four lines are the whole consent decision.

The protocol

  1. Paste the AI or content-license clause of the terms.
  2. Read the translation: grant, training, duration, and revocation.
  3. Find the opt-out setting or account preference that changes it.
  4. If there is no opt-out and the grant is broad, treat that as the answer.

What the tool does

Paste an AI terms clause and get a plain translation of what you grant, what trains on it, and what you can revoke. It runs in this browser; nothing is sent or stored.

Limit first: This is a reading aid, not legal advice. Clauses change; verify against the current terms on the service's site.

Research log and safety checks

AI-assist path: not applicable — the translation is a plain-language restatement the reader needs to see for the exact clause; a model paraphrase would be exactly the opacity this tool removes. §6.10: not a frontier-pace topic.

§0.5 protection result: category is informed-consent-literacy; crisis-adjacent: no; fear/urgency/scarcity toolkit used: no. The protective function is free and the paid feature is convenience only.
