ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Provisional · scored on 3 of 6
65.6/100
Consumer tier · provisional until more dimensions are known
How is this scored? →
Baseline 65.6 here · corpus average 31.4 across 191 scored platforms Top quartile Q1 18.4 · median 30.8 · Q3 42.3

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Google’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
