Abstract:Privacy policies are the sole method through which users of a website are notified of their privacy rights. Privacy policies are often long and complex documents that are difficult for users to read and understand; as a result, users often accept these privacy policies without reading them. This paper presents a prototype that can extract and summarize privacy policies from websites using natural language processing techniques. The summaries produced by the prototype are relevant and concise, proving that machine learning can be used to make privacy policy comprehension easier. Furthermore, ideas and suggestions on how to develop the prototype into a fully functional application are also presented.
