Privatech
1 December 2023
Privatech is an academic legal research project that aims to streamline privacy compliance and consumer protection by focusing on firms (data controllers and processors) rather than on consumers (data subjects). The project aims to ensure companies are able to translate privacy policies disclosed to consumers into effective corporate compliance mechanisms. Privatech’s objective is to detect breaches to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in privacy documents.
The application could serve consumers, lawyers, data protection officers, legal departments, and managers in auditing the privacy documents of a company. Privatech will eventually encourage companies to design and monitor their data processing activities, so they are legal, comprehensive, and easy to understand. More importantly, it aims to further generate privacy compliance in the back end of data flows, or in other words, to ensure companies are informed of data practices so they can take privacy preserving decisions. Privatech allows managers who are not specialized in privacy protection to conduct a preliminary compliance assessment and detect potential issues requiring specialized advice.
