• Abstract: A privacy policy is a document that states how a company intends to handle and manage their customers' personal data. One of the problems that arises with these privacy policies is that their content might violate data privacy regulations. Because of the enormous number of privacy policies that exist, the only realistic way to check for legal inconsistencies in all of them is through an automated method. In this work, we use Natural Language Inference (NLI) techniques to compare privacy regulations against sections of privacy policies from a selection of large companies. Our NLI model uses pre-trained embeddings, along with BiLSTM in its attention mechanism. We tried two versions of our model: one that was trained on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) and the second on the Multi-Genre Natural Language Inference (MNLI) dataset. We found that our test accuracy was higher on our model trained on the SNLI, but when actually doing NLI tasks on real world privacy policies, the model trained on MNLI generalized and performed much better.

  PrivacyLens is a novel framework designed to extend privacy-sensitive seeds into expressive vignettes and further into agent trajectories. We instantiate PrivacyLens with a collection of privacy norms grounded in privacy literature and crowdsourced seeds. State-of-the-art LMs, like GPT-4 and Llama-3-70B, leak sensitive information in 25.68% and 38.69% of cases, even when prompted with privacy-enhancing instructions.

  A privacy policy is a set of statements that specifies how an organization gathers, uses, discloses, and maintains a client's data. Most privacy policies lack a clear, complete explanation of how data providers' information is used. We propose a modeling methodology, called the Privacy Policy Permission Model (PPPM), that provides a uniform, easy-to-understand representation of privacy policies.
