I've been trying to figure out how to use AI in a meaningful way. There's a number of cases where it makes sense, but the way companies like to scrape and collect data is abusive in my opinion.

I am a believer that if it's free, you're the product, so I would expect any AI that has a semblance of privacy included would be a paid service.

As I investigate new tools and services, I spend/waste a lot of time reading privacy policies and TOS. What's your take on something like privacy-protector.cc? Has anyone used this, it seems straight forward, and while they do collect some identifying information, it seems reasonable.

Their privacy policy which is one of the cleanest, most straight-forward, I've seen in a while.

I can't access the site. But I can just go ahead and summarize every privacy policy ever right here:

We collect all the data we possibly can and sell it to whoever will pay us money for it. If you disagree, you may not use our service.
