Latest Policy Findings: 2026-06-10

QuillBot's extension privacy update keeps text input storage as the key risk, with separate opt-outs for storage and AI training.

Strongest: User Control
65/100

QuillBot is strongest where users still get visible account and privacy controls rather than silently accepting all text-handling defaults.

Weakest: AI Training
35/100

Its weakest area is retention, because saved text and extension-driven usage can persist longer than many users would assume.
