How to use PROT

PROT runs automatically in the background. Just navigate to any Terms of Service, EULA, or Privacy Policy page — on any website. You don't need to do anything manually. PROT detects legal documents by their content and URL, and starts scanning immediately.

Once PROT finishes scanning, a number badge appears on the extension icon in your browser toolbar. This tells you at a glance how many concerns were found. A red badge means serious issues were detected — amber means moderate concerns.

Click the PROT icon in your toolbar to open the popup. You'll see a summary of all concerns found, broken down by severity. Each finding shows the exact clause that triggered it, a plain-English explanation of why it's a concern, and the consumer law it may violate.

Every finding in the popup is clickable. Tap any result and PROT will scroll your browser directly to that clause in the document and highlight it — so you can read it in full context. The popup will close automatically and the clause will be marked on the page.

Every finding is rated on a four-level scale based on how aggressively the clause may affect your rights.

Open Settings (the gear icon in the popup) to control which severity levels PROT scans for. If you only want to see the most serious issues, you can turn off LOW and MEDIUM findings to keep the report focused. Your settings sync across devices automatically.
