• Abstract: The recent privacy leakage incidences and the more strict policy regulations demand a much higher standard of compliance for companies and mobile apps. However, such obligations also impose significant challenges on app developers for complying with these regulations that contain various perspectives, activities, and roles, especially for small companies and developers who are less experienced in this matter or with limited resources. To address these hurdles, we develop an automatic tool, NL2GDPR, which can generate policies from natural language descriptions from the developer while also ensuring the app's functionalities are compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). NL2GDPR is developed by leveraging an information extraction tool, OIA (Open Information Annotation), developed by Baidu Cognitive Computing Lab. At the core, NL2GDPR is a privacy-centric information extraction model, appended with a GDPR policy finder and a policy generator. We perform a comprehensive study to grasp the challenges in extracting privacy-centric information and generating privacy policies, while exploiting optimizations for this specific task. With NL2GDPR, we can achieve 92.9%, 95.2%, and 98.4% accuracy in correctly identifying GDPR policies related to personal data storage, process, and share types, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, NL2GDPR is the first tool that allows a developer to automatically generate GDPR compliant policies, with only the need of entering the natural language for describing the app features. Note that other non-GDPR-related features might be integrated with the generated features to build a complex app.

  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.

We demonstrate PolicyLR in three privacy tasks: Policy Compliance, Inconsistency Detection and Privacy Comparison Shopping.

Our evaluations show that combining the two sources with data augmentation and retrieval-based data re-sampling improves the current state-of-the-art by up to 2.2% absolute BLEU score on the code generation testbed CoNaLa.
