Why SmolTerms Exists

The average privacy policy is over 4,000 words long. It would take roughly 18 minutes to read — and most people encounter dozens of them every year. Nobody reads them, but everyone agrees to them.

SmolTerms exists because you deserve to know what you're agreeing to without spending hours reading legal jargon. One click, clear scores, and the key concerns — that's it.
