What it does

Most people don’t have the patience to read privacy policies. But privacy is important, and we shouldn’t just trust that products are treating our data right. PrivacySpy uses a consistent rubric to grade privacy policies on a ten-point scale.

PrivacySpy is an open project to grade and monitor privacy policies for convenience and accountability. Let's make informed data privacy decisions.
