They want you to see that they ticked the boxes as a responsible company (“Ah, yes. A formal privacy policy. Ooh. Such a responsible company.”), but they don’t want you to hold them accountable for their words, because they want no registry of what they’ve promised!
It’s pretty nasty—loads from a 3rd party domain (termly.io) that is blocked by uBO, and I had to disable it to load at all. After that, it loads into an iframe with a src of https://app.termly.io/policy-viewer/iframe-content.html?policyUUID=97db19c6-7afc-444b-bd38-9a2ac329fcac which you can load directly and print. It still has all the
user-select: nonecss settings applied so you can’t highlight / copy / paste, but that’s easy enough to remove in the inspector.Because I had a bit of time. It’s not perfect but ehh. Here is the markdown: itsdart-privacy-policy
An “AI” company who doesn’t want their content scraped? Say it ain’t so! /s
I just used Shottr to take a scrolling screenshot and captured the whole policy. I could OCR it, but I have no idea what to do with it from there…
Post it here
It’s too long for a comment but I made a Markdown copy in a post here: https://feddit.org/post/10009622
Crazy. Though I suspect the copy protection is done by the third party Termly, which hosts the policy.
To select the text (in Firefox), first right-click This Frame > Show Only This Frame. Press F12, expand <head>, find the second <style> block, right click it and Delete Note.
Several options to get around that. (1) Install a browser extension that will disable whatever block the page has, (2) open developer tools on a desktop browser, delete whatever javascript is preventing it, (3) possibly print to pdf, someone else suggested screenshot + OCR, etc.
Thanks for the suggestions. Had time to try to print it. Didn’t work. I’ll try the other options later.
