To begin the second set this afternoon, Transparency Labs demonstrated a tool that takes the headache out of reading the fine print:
“Imagine a day when you could easily understand your fine print and:
  • Buy a home and quickly decipher the Terms and Conditions of your mortgage
  • Know exactly what your insurance policy covers, with a click of a button 
  • Never have to lie again when you click “I have read, understand and agree to the Terms and Conditions” when visiting a website online
  • Save for retirement with confidence 
  • Know the true cost of your mobile phone plan, credit card, airline tickets and bank accounts
Transparency Labs works by: 
  • Aggregating thousands of pages of Terms and Conditions issued by America’s largest corporations and financial institutions
  • Analyzing the most widely used standard-form-contracts using an objective & empirical methodology
  • Cataloging over $100 billion in hidden fees and surcharges and millions of fine print data points
  • Tracking ongoing changes in fine print agreements”
Product Launched: September 2011
