SeePrivacy: Automated Contextual Privacy Policy Generation for Mobile Applications

Understand

Privacy policies have become the most critical approach to safeguarding individuals' privacy and digital security.

• To enhance their presentation and readability, researchers propose the concept of contextual privacy policies (CPPs), aiming to fragment policies into shorter snippets and display them only in corresponding contexts.
• In this paper, we propose a novel multi-modal framework, namely SeePrivacy, designed to automatically generate contextual privacy policies for mobile apps.
• Our method synergistically combines mobile GUI understanding and privacy policy document analysis, yielding an impressive overall 83.6% coverage rate for privacy-related context detection and an accuracy of 0.92 in extracting corresponding policy segments.
