PrivacySpy: Grading Privacy Policies for Convenience and Accountability
PrivacySpy is a browser extension available on the Chrome platform. Developed by R. Miles McCain, this free tool falls under the category of Browsers, specifically Add-ons & Tools.
PrivacySpy aims to make privacy policies more relevant by providing a convenient and accountable way to assess them. It recognizes that privacy policies should be more than just a checkbox, but rather serve as a means to ensure data transparency and empower users to make informed choices.
One notable feature of PrivacySpy is that it does not send your browsing activity to its servers. Instead, it downloads a full summary of the PrivacySpy database on startup or every 24 hours (whichever is less frequent), and then locally checks the pages you visit against this local database.
With PrivacySpy, grading privacy policies becomes a more convenient and accountable process, empowering users to take control of their data privacy.
