If there were an Olympics event for how fast someone can scroll to the bottom of a privacy policy and hit \u201caccept,\u201d you\u2019d find me on the podium with a medal.<\/p>\n

But buried in those endless paragraphs are real trade-offs related to data sharing, liability and, increasingly, whether your content and data can be used to train AI.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, though, most people are on accept-all autopilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople don\u2019t read them, don\u2019t click on them, don\u2019t even open them,\u201d said Giulio Pavesi, founder of Termzy AI, a Chrome extension that uses DeepSeek\u2019s large language model to analyze and summarize online contracts and surface the five most important clauses. Users can also ask the Termzy chatbot what a policy says about their data and their rights in plain English. <\/p>\n

Pavesi, who just graduated, came up with the idea for Termzy with three classmates while he was a student at the University of Amsterdam, in a course examining how AI affects culture, politics and democratic values. One of his assignments was to build something that uses AI responsibly for the social good.<\/p>\n

What started out as a class project is now an independent startup with a business plan. Termzy is free today, but Pavesi eventually wants to launch enterprise versions aimed at employers, legal teams and procurement folks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all sign contracts every day,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to avoid them completely \u2013\u00a0but we can at least understand them better.\u201d<\/p>\n

I caught up with Pavesi to talk about why we ignore the fine print and whether tools like this can really change behavior.<\/p>\n

AdExchanger: Would you say most privacy policies are misleading, or is it just that they\u2019re not written for regular people?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GIULIO PAVESI: You really do need some legal background to understand most terms and conditions, but I think the deeper issue is a lack of awareness.<\/p>\n

If you open Meta\u2019s privacy policy, for example, they actually have short animations, roughly one or two…<\/p>\n
