Security and Privacy Researcher
Ines handles privacy audits for every tool we list, from sign-up friction to account deletion and billing discretion. She checks what data a service asks for, whether nickname-only registration is possible, how clearly retention and deletion options are explained, and whether payment descriptors stay discreet; she marks products down when policies are vague, deletion is hard to find, or sensitive account settings are buried.
I mark a tool down when deletion is hard to find, policy wording leaves too much open, or billing creates avoidable exposure. A chatbot for adults needs clear account controls and plain language about what happens to your data when you stop
A vague deletion story. If I cannot tell what happens after account removal, or the path to remove data is buried behind support friction, I treat that as a serious problem.
Because it affects real-world risk. Adults using these tools often care about discretion, clear descriptors, and straightforward cancellation. If billing adds surprise or exposure, that belongs in the verdict.
