Graded against 808 verified platforms, from its own policy text. Automated assessment against a published rubric — not legal advice.
No lens is bandable yet — banding requires fully verified documents with on-criteria findings. The gap is shown honestly, never estimated.
Partially verified: Privacy Policy assessed. Everything below comes only from what was read in full.
Watch: Data retention
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
Establishes a retention obligation requiring that personal information be kept only as long as necessary for stated purposes or as required or permitted by law, sets an upper limit tied to account duration, and mandates deletion or anonymization when no ongoing legitimate business need or legal basis for retention exists.
Defines device data as information about the user's hardware used to access the services, enumerating specific data points (IP address, proxy server, device and application IDs, location, browser type, hardware model, internet service provider, mobile carrier, operating system, system configuration), establishing the scope of device-level automatic data collection.
Discloses that AI Products are provided through named third-party AI Service Providers and that user input, output, and personal information will be shared with and processed by those providers; also imposes a restriction on users prohibiting use of AI Products in violation of any AI Service Provider's terms or policies.
How to read this page: Overall risk rates what Apten's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data.

Both trace to the cited findings.
