TermsGuard corpus

The TermsGuard engine pointed at a real, ongoing data-collection problem. Each company's privacy policy is fetched on the schedule below, scored by the same GDPR-cosine pipeline that powers the live demo, and stored versioned with the diff between snapshots. The corpus is the proof that the engine works on documents it has never seen before.

Sampling frame. The corpus covers 24 companies that are either (a) the largest data processors operating under GDPR scope, or (b) among the top five in their EU category. The list is the sample, not a ranking. Each entry justifies itself by size or category, not by score. 20 of 24 fetched successfully this run; 4 were rate-limited or bot-blocked and will retry next run.

How to read this

The score is the mean cosine confidence of the flagged clauses, range 0 to 1. Risk labels (Low / Medium / High / Unknown) come from fixed score bands, not a learned model. A diff is computed between the current snapshot and the previous one for the same company; companies with only one snapshot have no diff to show.

Flagged = matches the unfair reference set Cleared = matches the fair reference set Uncertain = no confident match

Latest scores

All 20 companies with a successful fetch. Score is the mean cosine confidence of the policy's flagged (non-ethical) clauses, range 0-1. Higher means more concerning clauses with higher model confidence. Last fetched 2026-10-29.

Analyst summary

TermsGuard's reading: This is a medium risk policy with purpose limitation concerns, cookie and consent issues, and disputed claims about international transfers and territorial scope. The dominant matches are Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation, with 53 flagged clauses, followed by no basis match in 43 clauses and ePrivacy Directive combinations with Article 5(1)(b) or Article 7 Conditions for Consent. The engine also flags Article 44 International Transfers and Article 3 Territorial Scope.

How this was scored

How this was scored: 481 clauses were extracted from the policy and matched against the 102 hand-labelled reference clauses (52 fair, 50 unfair). The top match for each clause was checked against the 550-chunk reference index of the actual GDPR text (99 articles + 173 recitals), and the matching article was attached to the flag. The score is the mean confidence of the 173 flagged clauses , most of them under Art.5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation violation. No model verification on this run; cosine + GDPR retrieval only.

Overall analysis

Of 481 clauses analysed, 173 were flagged and 84 were cleared, so the policy contains valid privacy controls alongside a larger set of detected concerns. The flagged examples cover advertiser sharing, cookie analytics, a statement that data protection varies between countries, and exclusion of services with separate privacy policies. The cleared examples cover deletion requests, longer retention for stated business or legal purposes, cookie-related service limits

Notes and caveats

  • 224 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.
  • The verification model is not configured for this corpus run. Cosine similarity + GDPR-article retrieval are the only signals.
  • This is a measurement of the published policy text, not the company's actual data-handling practice. The policy can be more or less protective than the practice.

Overall analysis

Of 1,462 clauses analysed, 286 were flagged and 372 were cleared. The flagged examples describe browsing activity collection, cookies used for settings, sign-in, personalised advertising, fraud prevention, and analysis, plus transfers to countries that may not provide the same level of protection. The cleared examples describe variable retention periods, data provided directly or collected from product interactions, and parents' ability to change or revoke consent. The shape is mixed: the policy contains provisions the engine reads as transparent or consent-supporting, alongside broader data-use and transfer language that contributes to the medium score.

Notes and caveats

  • 804 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.

Of 268 clauses analysed, 78 were flagged and 54 were cleared, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.53. The policy therefore combines stated user rights and retention disclosures with clauses the engine associates with purpose limitation, consent, and tracking concerns.

Overall analysis

The policy contains 12 flagged clauses and 20 cleared clauses among 73 analysed, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.55. The flagged clauses describe cookies used for website functionality, activation on visits, and persistence after the browser closes; the cleared clauses describe browser controls, transparency about collection and use, and the stated absence of marketing cookies requiring consent. This gives the policy a mixed profile, with cookie and information-handling language triggering concerns while several disclosure and control statements are read as compliant.

Notes and caveats

  • 41 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.
  • The verification model is not configured for this corpus run. Cosine similarity + GDPR-article retrieval are the only signals.
  • This is a measurement of the published policy text, not the company's actual data-handling practice. The policy can be more or less protective than the practice.

TermsGuard's reading: This policy presents a medium consent and cookie compliance risk, centered on profiling cookies, third-party cookies, and advertising based on user preferences. The dominant basis is the ePrivacy Directive and Article 7 Consent, with two flagged clauses stating that profiling cookie installation requires prior consent. A separate purpose statement received no basis match.

How this was scored

How this was scored: 13 clauses were extracted from the policy and matched against the 102 hand-labelled reference clauses (52 fair, 50 unfair). The top match for each clause was checked against the 550-chunk reference index of the actual GDPR text (99 articles + 173 recitals), and the matching article was attached to the flag. The score is the mean confidence of the 3 flagged clauses , most of them under ePrivacy Directive violation + Art.7 Consent. No model verification on this run; cosine + GDPR retrieval only.

Overall analysis

The engine flagged three clauses and cleared two of the 13 analysed clauses. The flagged set describes technical, analytics, and profiling cookies, profiling-based advertising, and a broad stakeholder purpose statement. The cleared clauses describe refusing consent through a link and continuing navigation without profiling cookies by clicking the X. This pattern shows that the policy contains stated consent and refusal mechanisms, while the cookie and profiling language still triggered the main risk signals.

Overall analysis

The engine flagged 36 of 159 analysed clauses and cleared 35, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.53. The flagged set is led by 15 Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation violations and includes 9 clauses with no basis match. The cleared clauses state that Rabobank does not sell personal data and describe processing purposes, data sources, and erasure requests. The policy therefore contains both clear rights and transparency language and clauses that the engine reads as leaving data-sharing purposes or legal grounds insufficiently bounded.

No clauses were cleared.

Overall analysis

Seven clauses were analysed, with one flagged and none cleared. The policy record therefore provides one flagged example and no cleared comparison set. The 0.37 score is the mean confidence of that single flagged clause.

Notes and caveats

  • 6 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.
  • No clauses were cleared. The corpus has no clauses that read as GDPR-compliant by the reference comparison.
  • The verification model is not configured for this corpus run. Cosine similarity + GDPR-article retrieval are the only signals.
  • This is a measurement of the published policy text, not the company's actual data-handling practice. The policy can be more or less protective than the practice.

Analyst summary

TermsGuard's reading: This is a medium-risk policy with a concentration of purpose limitation concerns around marketing and promotional use, partner use under their own notices, and collection through cookies and similar technologies. The dominant finding is Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation, with 20 flagged clauses and five combined with Article 28, alongside Article 44 International Transfers, the ePrivacy Directive with Article 7 Conditions for Consent, and Article 82 Controller Liability. The flagged material concerns expanded use, processing by partners, international processing, and consent-related collection.

How this was scored

How this was scored: 88 clauses were extracted from the policy and matched against the 102 hand-labelled reference clauses (52 fair, 50 unfair). The top match for each clause was checked against the 550-chunk reference index of the actual GDPR text (99 articles + 173 recitals), and the matching article was attached to the flag. The score is the mean confidence of the 33 flagged clauses , most of them under Art.5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation violation. No model verification on this run; cosine + GDPR retrieval only.

Overall analysis

The policy contains 72 flagged clauses and 74 cleared clauses out of 316 analysed, so its text presents both risk signals and recognised rights language. The flagged examples permit global processing and transfers or storage outside Malaysia, Thailand, or the reader's jurisdiction. The cleared examples state rights to deletion and erasure, and to withdraw consent. The score of 0.54 is the mean confidence of the flagged clauses, while the cleared set is not empty.

Notes and caveats

  • 170 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.
  • The verification model is not configured for this corpus run. Cosine similarity + GDPR-article retrieval are the only signals.

Overall analysis

Across 279 clauses, 86 were flagged and 55 were cleared, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.52. The highest-confidence flags describe retention after deletion and partners combining shared data with data from their services, while other flags address tailored ads for users under the appropriate age. The cleared clauses state that users can withdraw consent and request erasure, so the policy contains rights language alongside clauses the engine reads as purpose, retention, and profiling concerns.

Notes and caveats

  • 138 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.

Overall analysis

Of 175 clauses analysed, 51 were flagged and 30 were cleared. The flagged clauses describe partner advertising, further processing and data combination, processing outside the European Union, cookie and analytics use, and a deletion statement assessed under storage limitation and erasure. The cleared clauses mainly provide transparency about collected data, processing purposes, choices, service providers, and processing locations, so the policy explains its practices while the engine identifies concerns in how those practices are used and governed.

Overall analysis

The flagged set contains 131 clauses, including 46 with no basis match and 38 marked as Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation violations. The cleared set contains 72 clauses covering access, erasure, consent withdrawal, and storage limitation. The policy therefore combines stated data subject rights and retention practices with broader tracking and sharing provisions that the engine treats as insufficiently limited.

Notes and caveats

  • 257 clauses were left uncertain. They sit between the fair and unfair reference sets and the engine did not commit.
  • The verification model is not configured for this corpus run. Cosine similarity + GDPR-article retrieval are the only signals.
  • This is a measurement of the published policy text, not the company's actual data-handling practice. The policy can be more or less protective than the practice.

Analyst summary

TermsGuard's reading: This is a low, targeted international transfer compliance risk. The engine flags questions about recipients, transfers outside the EEA, and safeguards for those transfers, primarily under Article 44 International Transfers and Articles 44 to 49 International Transfers. Additional flagged clauses concern Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation with Article 28, and Article 7 Conditions for Consent.

How this was scored

How this was scored: 87 clauses were extracted from the policy and matched against the 102 hand-labelled reference clauses (52 fair, 50 unfair). The top match for each clause was checked against the 550-chunk reference index of the actual GDPR text (99 articles + 173 recitals), and the matching article was attached to the flag. The score is the mean confidence of the 12 flagged clauses , most of them under Art.44 International Transfers violation. No model verification on this run; cosine + GDPR retrieval only.

Overall analysis

The flagged clauses describe conditional transfers and related processing arrangements, while the cleared clauses recognise access, erasure, transparency, and storage limitation rights. Of 87 clauses analysed, 12 were flagged and 35 were cleared, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.57. The policy therefore shows concentrated transfer concerns alongside clear statements about several individual rights and information duties.

Analyst summary

TermsGuard's reading: This policy presents a medium compliance risk centered on broad disclosure and data-sharing practices. The engine primarily flags Article 5(1)(b) Purpose Limitation and Article 28 Processor concerns, with additional Article 7 Consent, Article 5(1)(a) Transparency, and Article 82 Controller Liability issues. It reads the policy as permitting sharing with third parties, service providers, advisers, and group companies without consistently limiting or explaining the purposes.

How this was scored

Overall analysis

The engine analysed 92 clauses, flagged 28, and cleared 14, with a mean flagged-clause confidence of 0.51. The flagged clauses focus on third-party sharing, processing purposes, service providers, professional advisers, and recruitment disclosures. The cleared clauses cover deletion rights, consent withdrawal, and a table summarising data categories disclosed to service providers and third parties. The policy therefore states several data subject rights and disclosure categories, while the flagged set concentrates on the scope and conditions of those disclosures.
