Privacy Policy Summarizer

WHAT IT DOES

This tool reads Privacy Policy content from any webpage—privacy policy documents, data collection notices, or selected text—and uses AI to generate a plain-English summary. It extracts the content, analyzes the key provisions, and returns a summary that explains what data is collected, how it's used, who it's shared with, how long it's retained, and what rights users have over their data. You can choose from three summary formats: Bullet Points (easy to scan), Paragraph (flowing narrative), or Structured (clear sections). The summary appears in the panel with a privacy shield label. This tool helps users, website visitors, and consumers quickly understand how their data is handled without reading the full legal document.

WHERE IT RUNS

The script runs on every website and web application you visit. It works with any page containing Privacy Policy content—privacy pages, data collection notices, GDPR/CCPA compliance pages, and more. It works regardless of framework—React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML—and extracts content from the page as rendered in the browser.

HOW TO USE

Upon installation, a floating panel appears with the tool interface. Select the Privacy Policy content on the page (or navigate to a page containing the policy), choose your preferred summary format (Bullet Points, Paragraph, or Structured), and click "Scan & Summarize Privacy." The tool extracts the content and sends it to the AI bridge. Within seconds, the AI returns a plain-English summary. The panel shows the source content preview and the generated summary with a "Privacy Policy Summary" label. Click "Copy Summary" to copy the summary to your clipboard, or "Copy Policy" to copy the original text. Review the summary to understand how your data is handled.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM: INTELLIGENT PRIVACY POLICY EXTRACTION WITH AI SUMMARIZATION

This tool uses a multi-layer approach to extract Privacy Policy content. It first checks for user-selected text, then looks for common privacy containers (privacy, policy, data, collection, gdpr, ccpa), then scans sections, articles, and clauses. The extracted text is cleaned and formatted for the AI. The tool attempts WebMCP (navigator.modelContext) first if available—a W3C proposal for structured tool calls—falling back to the AI backend via GM_xmlhttpRequest. The AI is prompted to return a plain-English summary covering data collection, usage, sharing, retention, and user rights in the selected format. The summary is returned as plain text with no preamble, ready for review.

THE PANEL

The panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per website using GM_setValue. It automatically snaps to the nearest screen edge when released for a clean workspace. Click the collapse button to minimize it to a small floating bubble that takes minimal space. Click the bubble to expand the panel back. The panel can be resized by dragging any edge or corner. Press the Escape key to close the panel temporarily, and click the extension icon to reopen it.

PLEASE NOTE

This script requires the free BotGentz extension and an active AI subscription. Each Privacy Policy summary counts against your monthly AI usage cap. AI-generated summaries are for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice. Always consult the full Privacy Policy for binding terms. AI summaries should be reviewed before use—the AI may occasionally miss important data handling details. As websites frequently update their structure, scripts may need occasional updates to maintain content extraction accuracy. All data processing happens locally except for the AI request—only the extracted policy content is sent to the AI backend. No browsing history or personal information is transmitted or stored. This tool is designed for productivity assistance and is not an autonomous agent that acts without review.
