Methodology

How We Grade Policies

Every grade is calculated from eight independently scored factors. Each factor reflects a different dimension of how a company treats your personal data. Scores are reviewed and updated on a 3–4 week cycle.

A
85–100 · Excellent Minimal data collection, transparent practices, easy opt-out, fair ToS language.
B
70–84 · Good Minor concerns in one or two areas but generally respects user rights.
C
55–69 · Mixed Notable clauses worth reading. Some data selling or broad content licensing.
D
40–54 · Poor Multiple invasive practices. Difficult opt-out, mandatory arbitration, or broad data sharing.
F
0–39 · Critical Highly invasive data practices, onerous clauses, and very little user control.

The Eight Scoring Factors

20%
Data Sensitivity

What types of data are collected? Biometrics, health data, and financial records score lowest; basic account info scores highest.

20%
Data Selling

Does the company sell or share personal data with third parties for advertising or commercial gain? A clear "No" earns the highest score.

15%
Content Licensing

What rights does the company claim over content you post? Broad, royalty-free, sublicensable licenses score poorly.

15%
Deletion Ease

How easy is it to delete your account and have your data removed? One-click deletion with timely confirmation scores best.

10%
Arbitration Clause

Does the ToS require mandatory arbitration, waiving your right to a class-action lawsuit? Absence of such clauses scores highest.

10%
Language Clarity

Is the policy written in plain, accessible language? Short, clearly structured policies with a plain-language summary score best.

5%
Change Notification

How does the company notify users when the ToS changes? Direct email with advance notice and opt-out scores highest.

5%
Data Portability

Can you export your data in a standard, machine-readable format (CSV, JSON)? Easy export with complete data scores best.
