Digital privacy is a freedom that all of us value, but many corporations abuse. Corporations do not tell you right away what information is being tracked, and who else has access to this data. They protect themselves by creating long legal documents like privacy policies, that the average user has no idea how to interpret.
PrivacyCheck aims to solve this issue of misinformation in today's age. PrivacyCheck is a browser extension available for download on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. It scan's through a privacy policy and uses machine learning to determine how well the policy protects your data.
I serve as the Technical Lead for a 6 person team, and we are currently working on rolling out a brand new version of PrivacyCheck to make it even better!
PrivacyCheck was built entirely using React.js to service the front-end; AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and AWS API Gateway, and S3 to service the back-end.
Check out the latest version in the link below!
