What is Privacy Policy?

A privacy policy is a legal document that discloses how an organization collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data from website visitors, app users, customers, or employees. Privacy policies are required by GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and other global privacy regulations. They must specify what data is collected, the legal basis for processing, data retention periods, your rights as a data subject, and how to contact the privacy officer.

What to Look for When Reviewing

  • What categories of personal data are collected (name, email, location, behavioral data)
  • Legal basis for data processing under GDPR (consent, legitimate interest, contract)
  • Which third parties receive your data and for what purpose
  • Data retention period — how long is your data kept?
  • Your rights — access, deletion, portability, correction, and opt-out
  • Cookie policy and tracking technologies used
  • Data transfer to countries outside your jurisdiction (EU/US data transfers)

Common Red Flags to Watch For

  • Vague "improve our services" language that justifies any data use without specificity
  • No mention of data retention period — data may be kept indefinitely by default
  • Data shared with "partners and affiliates" without naming specific third parties
  • No mechanism to exercise your rights (no contact email, no deletion request form)

How AI Changes the Review Process

Privacy policies are often deliberately written to obscure problematic data practices in dense legal language. AI analysis extracts the specific data categories collected, all named third-party recipients, your rights and how to exercise them, and any concerning patterns — in a structured format you can actually act on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data does a typical website collect?
Most websites collect device data, IP address, browser type, pages visited, and cookie data. E-commerce sites additionally collect payment info, purchase history, and shipping address. Many apps collect location, contacts, and usage patterns.
What is GDPR and does it apply to me?
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is an EU law that applies to any organization processing data of EU residents — regardless of where the organization is based. If a US company has EU customers, GDPR applies.
Can I request that a company delete my data?
Yes. Under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and other privacy laws, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. The company must respond within a specified timeframe (30 days under GDPR) and delete data they are not legally required to retain.
What is a "legitimate interest" basis for data processing?
Legitimate interest is a legal basis under GDPR that allows companies to process data without explicit consent if they have a genuine business reason that doesn't override the individual's rights. It is frequently over-claimed and challenged by regulators.
How do I know if a privacy policy is compliant?
A compliant privacy policy specifies all data categories, legal basis for processing, third-party recipients, retention periods, user rights, and contact information. AI analysis checks all these elements and flags missing disclosures.
