Comment on Show HN: AI tool reads privacy policies, tells you which sites sell your info.parent

Thanks, and yes indeed, that's what we are hoping to get towards. We started out with a few other categories & classifiers (i.e. does the site claim intellectual property over what you post ) but wanted to start with "does this site sell my data." We can train it on TOSs and categorize there.

Do you have a background in this (re: JD)? This is a very complicated task. In fact it's such a tricky task that I think you might be better off just building a database of terms. A quick Googling didn't turn up anything so maybe this is something else you could offer. Have people submit what sites that want you to take a look at, take info from people... Fairly different than what you're doing but seems more likely to give people information that's useful. I wouldn't want to rely on a machine-generated evaluation that wasn't 100% right 100% of the time!
