Privacy Scout – understand privacy policies in minutes with LLMs

Hacker News

At Atticus AI, we're on a mission to make legal understanding more accessible to everyone. After building our contract analysis tool and talking to folks, we noticed a common use-case: understanding privacy policies. We decided to build a standalone tool, Privacy Scout, to address this need. With Privacy Scout, all it takes is a URL to a privacy policy. From there, the tool takes over by: - Retrieving and analyzing the policy. - Grading the policy with an easy-to-understand and transparent scoring system. - Allowing users to compare privacy policies across companies in our public directory. Big learnings for us: - Updating our privacy policy was necessary due to the lack of key terms. - A significant portion of the work in effectively utilizing LLMs involves data engineering, such as data munging and developing robust pipelines. - Achieving standout performance with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) requires extensive domain-specific experimentation. We're continuing to build a suite of tools to make legal understanding more accessible, and I would love your feedback!
