Polisis: Automated Analysis and Presentation of Privacy Policies Using Deep Learning

Understand

Privacy policies are the primary channel through which companies inform users about their data collection and sharing practices.

• These policies are often long and difficult to comprehend.
• Short notices based on information extracted from privacy policies have been shown to be useful but face a significant scalability hurdle, given the number of policies and their evolution over time.
• Companies, users, researchers, and regulators still lack usable and scalable tools to cope with the breadth and depth of privacy policies.
