High, provisions that significantly limit your legal rights, authorize broad data collection, or create material financial exposure. Medium, provisions worth knowing about but with partial protections or limited scope. Low, standard terms with minimal consumer impact.
Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score.
