Machine Learning-Based Privacy Policy Analysis and Visualization for GDPR Compliance

Abstract Concerns about online privacy have become more prevalent as a result of the quick spread of internet services. However, customers are frequently presented with lengthy and complicated privacy policy documentation offered by service providers, which prevents them from reading and understanding these policies. In order to overcome this difficulty, this paper suggests a machine learning-based solution that makes it easier to comprehend privacy policies. To develop our method, we sincerely examined the privacy policies of the top 100 Indian-accessible internet services. Whenever a user visits a website, our tool automatically evaluates it and determines if the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)'s data protection guidelines are being followed. Users may use these ratings to determine if a certain privacy policy is in compliance with privacy-abiding practices or not. This approach seeks to narrow the knowledge gap between users and privacy policies, promoting informed choice-making and strengthening online privacy protection.
