'''Khmer of Service; Didn't Read''' ('''ToS;DR''') is a community project which aims to analyze and grade the [[terms of service]] (TOS) and [[privacy policies]] of major Internet sites and services. Each aspect of a TOS or privacy policy is assessed as positive, negative, or neutral. Services are graded from A (best) to E (worst) once a comprehensive list of cases has been reviewed by [[volunteer]] [[curator]]s.<ref name="Brown">{{cite web|url=https://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-08/15/tos-dr-website|title=ToS;DR website translates terms of service agreements into English|last=Brown|first=Mark|date=15 August 2012|work=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|accessdate=28 March 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120818164016/http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-08/15/tos-dr-website|archivedate=18 August 2012}}</ref><ref name="Blagdon">{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2012/8/14/3241572/tos-dr-terms-of-service|title=ToS;DR reads the terms of service so you don't have to|last=Blagdon|first=Jeff|date=14 August 2012|work=[[The Verge]]|accessdate=28 March 2014}}</ref><ref name="Klosowski">{{cite web|url=http://lifehacker.com/5932853/tosdr-is-a-one-stop-shop-for-webapp-terms-of-service-ratings/all|title=ToS;DR Is a One-Stop Shop for Webapp Terms of Service Ratings|last=Klosowski|first=Thorin|date=8 August 2012|work=[[Lifehacker]]|accessdate=28 March 2014}}</ref>
The name of the project is a play on the phrase [[wikt:too long; didn't read|too long; didn't read]].

The project was founded in June 2012 by Hugo Roy, programmer Michiel de Jong and designer [[Jan-Christoph Borchardt]].<ref>https://tosdr.org/about.html</ref> It was led by Hugo Roy, when he was a law student,<ref name="Luckerson">{{cite web|url=http://business.time.com/2012/08/10/new-site-grades-those-pesky-terms-of-service-agreements-you-never-read/|title=Facebook, Google, Others Have Privacy Policies Explained on New Website|last=Luckerson|first=Victor|date=10 August 2012|work=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|accessdate=28 March 2014}}</ref> from 2012 to 2015.
