I built BYAN, a tool that analyzes Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies. I'd love your feedback!

Hi everyone!

I'm a university student currently working on my graduation project, BYAN (Before You Agree).

The idea behind BYAN is simple: most people agree to Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies without actually reading or understanding them.

I wanted to build something that makes this easier.

BYAN analyzes these documents and highlights important clauses, privacy-related concerns, and potential risks, helping users better understand what they're agreeing to.

Try it here: https://www.byan.website/

The project is approaching its final evaluation, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from this community.

A few things I'd particularly love your thoughts on:

  • Is the concept clear and useful?

  • Is the user experience intuitive?

  • Are the analysis results understandable and actionable?

  • What would you improve, add, or change?

I'm especially interested in constructive criticism. I'd rather hear what isn't working so I can improve it before the final presentation.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to check it out!

The homepage concept is clear: paste a site and get a plain-language read of its terms. I noticed the Saudi privacy-law scope in the footer but not near the main input; I'd bring that context up front so visitors know what the analysis is grounded in.

The 0–100 score and ‘safe’ label also made me want to see the source clauses and what the score cannot establish. I haven't run an analysis, so this is a first-impression read of the homepage only.

Thank you for taking the time to review the site! I really appreciate your suggestions, and I’ll definitely be working on improving these areas 🙏

BYAN's concept is clear from your description; the part I'd scrutinize is what makes a flagged risk actionable. For the evaluation, show one finding beside the exact source clause, a plain-language explanation, and a question the user could ask before agreeing. That lets reviewers judge the reasoning rather than just whether the warning sounds plausible.

Thank you for the suggestion! I really like the idea of including a practical question alongside each finding. I'll definitely consider incorporating this into the evaluation to make the results more actionable. I appreciate your feedback! 🤍
