Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 3, Documentation: 5, Utility: 7)

A privacy-focused Chrome extension that locally scans Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages for concerning clauses using regex pattern matching, highlighting red flags like binding arbitration or data selling without sending data externally. It's interesting because it offers immediate, transparent analysis with strong privacy guarantees by avoiding AI/cloud dependencies.

Target audience: general internet users, privacy-conscious individuals, developers
